Unearthed a gem, found a dusty bottle in the corner and took a shot - $22 and it was fantastic! Looked inky like a current vintage, copious amount of pure ripe black & blue fruit, so gobs but also earthy like freshly turned soil, spice, clay & loam, some dustiness which blew off. Polished on palate, tons of fruit but not flabby and really well integrated tannins. Pedigree here and a real treat. Going back and grabbing any other bottles I can find
