The consignor was introduced to these wines through a former client he had worked with, marking his first experience with fine wine. Given the opportunity, he chose to purchase them for personal enjoyment. As he no longer resides at the property where the wines were originally stored, he made the decision to consign them. Prior to their transfer to Iron Gate, the bottles were stored in a temperature-controlled environment.

This is a velvety-textured, expansive, and massively ripe wine boasting flavors reminiscent of licorice and blackberry jam. It has superb depth of fruit (particularly for this sometimes "simple" vintage), medium-to-full body, and admirable length to its supple finish.
