Packed with optimally ripe fruit. Dark yet elegant with pure wild berry and currant flavors, buttressed by sweet toffee and cocoa. Muscular and deep with an amazingly smooth seamless texture. Sweet tannins and wild berry fruit linger beautifully on the finish. 95

This the big black bottle (PHEV)?

Thanks for the TN. I always love this wine.

Just curious how much you paid for the 2005?

If curiosity killed the cat, any chance it might kill an empty suit?

I paid $87.50 per and I bought a six pack.

Chris, you did not even give the curiosity thing a chance.

Nice notes, CC. When we moved out here to Paradise, our realtor gave us a bottle of this as a house warming gift. Nice guy!! I'll hold onto it for a little while yet, but am certainly looking forward to popping it in a few years.

No, jgreen, we're in the other "paradise;" the one in the middle of the frikkin Pacific Ocean. Hawaii. But many thanks for the kind thoughts, nonetheless.

Ahhhh...a much better place to be than the one in CA.
