Nuts, sweet figs and spice come together in this delicious wine. It has great freshness as well as the concentrated wood character of a 20-year-old. A great final balance. ——R.V.(12/15/2010)—— 91

This wine is crammed full of honey and walnuts, accented by mixed berries. Fresh and lively, supple and smooth in the mouth, and not overly sweet despite ending on notes of maple syrup and roasted nuts. Much better than a bottle reviewed in the November 15, 2003 issue.——J.C.(3/1/2004)—— 91

Although this bottle showed some fine flavors of roasted coffee and English toffee, it also had aromas of burnt fruit and decaying vegetation. A disappointing effort.——J.C.(11/15/2003)—— 84
