Still has great depth and purity of fruit. Nose has a great funk that i love in old wines. light garnet, with orange at the rim. still doing well but definitely mature.

A very nice example of a second wine. Leather, dirt and black fruit on the nose gives way to a thick, velvety mouth feel, with firm tanin and moderate finish. Great wine to quaff and contemplate.

the phillips high end stuff is great (integrity) but their entry level wines just seem disjointed and overripe. kind of like cough syrup.  tried to like it , but just too much oak, alcohol and jammy fruit..........
