1/21 wine has mellowed nicely and is much softer than previous occasions. Good earth and balance with some acidity on the finish. 87

Like this wine but it has a lot of black berry and black licorice. Have to be in the mood for muscular, structured wine.

Big deep extracted dark old sweet. A beautiful wine in an old world style.
