There's a first time for everything. First time K&L has carried this wine-in fact i had never heard of the property til i was sent a sample to taste. I bought it immediately. 22 years old and going strong. Soft, sweet, and elegant. And all this for less than $1 a year. And now the last batch arrives in January 2024 at 25 years old and kicking. Mature coffee, tea, tobacco aromas- sweet and lovely at 80% Merlot. Prime rib here for under $20.
