I hate the waxed cork! What a mess to open this sucker. An expensive wine which I saved to serve to fussy guests. I become more critical of my offerings when I serve knowledgeable guests... sigh.... I liked the wine. It was quite nice, rich with taste of dark cherries. I almost loved it, except for acidic tones being a little out of balance. Still a rather lovely wine. Too expensive for what it is, however.

A beautifully complex wine. Luscious dark black cherry and dark berry notes with wisps of spice, vanilla and cedar on he nose. Very smooth finish with hints of smoke.

Dark deep tasting cab. Would be great with steak but we drank it as an after dinner and it was still great.
