This is really tasty - with dark chalky red fruit and espresso/mocha notes. Highly recommended.

Well it took a while to open up; the best glass was the last glass. The 2010 vintage still has lots of life left in it. PIred well with baby back ribs, scalloped potatoes and spicy cole slaw.

Aging really well and lots of ripe red fruits. Some warm spices on the palate along with white pepper. This wine might be at its prime. Enjoying with T-bone steak.
