A slow build that showed up after 90 minutes in the decanter, the Spring Mountain strength is evident with bold sweet purple fruit, cassis and chewy tannins. Plenty of road ahead.

A magnum that's smooth, feminine and still full of fruit. Silky chocolate finish.

Just finished a 2003. A wonderful bottle. Wine doesn't getting much better than this. Bought the bottle from The Richards in '04 and it's aged beautifully.
