Had this bottle sitting in the cellar and decided to try it. Glad I did t wait longer but very happy I waited as long as I did. For a bottle I bought for $25 iseveral years ago this has held up fantastically. Great fruit, soft tannins, fully rounded. Just a really nice bottle.

PNP. Prior bottles drank in 2012 and '13 had been too tannic. Now drinking very nicely. Dark, opaque purple throughout. Beautiful fruit, vanilla, dust and maybe nutmeg? on nose. Great mouthfeel. Nice balance between fruit and tannins which are still mouthdrying at finish but well incorporated. Definitely dust, fruit and a little toast on palate. Great value. Wish that i had more.

Agree with WAwineguy. Drinking beautifully right now. So happy I held on to this bottle this long.

This surprised me, with cassis, pencil lead, and well-integrated tannins. Better than I expected.
