Dull ruby. Some menthol. Light cherry fruit, some obvious wood, ripe, a twist of citrus, harmonious tannins. Delicious and impressive at age 17. Ready now.

Elegant, nicely balanced, still plenty of fruit and depth. Drank today with Christmas turkey and will save my remaining bottle for another special occasion!

This goes on the not-so-long list of wines that exceeded expectations and that I wished I had more of. Totally underrated by the critics, except Burghound, it is a lovely wine tonight. All hormony of elegant berry fruit, silky texture, integrated tannins, and supporting acidity. Worth every penny and then some.

Rich and elegant. This has aged well and is still in great shape.
