Could this be the best $14 I’ve ever spent in wine? If not it certainly is a contender. I loved these wines when they were first made and a couple of years ago I stumbled across a bunch of older wines being sold at BottleBarn and had to snap them up. They age beautifully. This one I think is perhaps just slightly past it’s peak, but is utterly delicious with aromas of leather, smoked meats, and dried flowers, with flavors of red apple skin, red miso, earth, and leather mixed with a touch of dried citrus peel and dried cherries. Still excellent acidity and billowy velvet-soft tannins. I think we have @Cathy Corison to thank for this one, along with Fritz Maytag.

It's above wine certainly for the price but I'm not feeling the ratings others have given. There's a lot of good going on but not the great that would give it a 9 rating for me.

Its no Heitz,
But for a $100.00 magnum it’s a pretty good deal, great fruit without any bricking at all. 2 hour decant,

Wonderful Gift from one of our favorite servers. Earthy to start- however once it opened up was fantastic.
