Monthly WTF wine group meet up.

Dusty plum, charcoal, leather and cherry cordial on the nose; young and tannic! Needed a decanting. Older dark chocolate dusted dates, truffled mushroom and overripe blackberry. Drink up!

Elegant, with the tannins softening beautifully after 13 years.

Bordeaux style bottle of liquid pleasure. Balanced, silky smooth, and super long finish. Outstanding. I would wait in line for this-----and I don't do lines!

Gave it about an hour in the decanter. Showing extremely well. Happy Valentine’s Day!

This was so tight when I popped the cork, it was barely drinkable. Decent front palette with no finish. After standing with the cork in for 3 days!, it was very pleasant and enjoyable. Rating is the 3 day rating.

This wine is in it's prime...chocolate, plum, raisins...flavor continues to blossom late into the finish. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 14.4% A.b.V.
