A really super bottling from this lovely property. Deep ruby, no bricking. Nose came on after 20 mins or so and displayed lots of brite red fruits, plums, cassis, and a touch of vanilla/mint. Solid entry and middle, and a 4+ lapper finish. 200 cases. 90/88.(graded against their regular bottling at 1/2 the price) 50 by the box. 13.5% alc. WW

Had another of this super bottlinh for lunch today. Has improved markedly over the last 2 years. The nose has become more floral with more black fruits than before. The entry is heavy with a weighty center and the same lovely 4+ lapper finish. Kick the rating up a notch to 91. WW

Had this for lunch yesterday and think it may possibly be my last bottle. No change, just the same-ole. What a solid producer. WW
