So rounded and glossy. High toned with black cherry and some mocha and good acidity. Excellent stuff.

Intense! This is a stellar wine, and not even beginning to show her age #, other than the symmetry of the fruit, and tannins integrate seamlessly. It has been a month or so since drinking 02, but I think the 03 isn't much different other than it had a hint more of an anise note to it. Still one of our favorites & friends alway love it, so it is worth every penny!

Pretty tasty, could have waited another 5 years and probably not skipped a beat. #familywinetasting
