Chairs are sturdy and a good buy. They were a little wobbly but with a little thought (like pulling the leg caps and inserting some washers) or installing some adhesive self sticking pads on thr short legs this can be overcome. For the price and the quality I felt it was worth this headache. I liked them so well I placed another order for a set. Almost all of the bar stools I looked at had this same issue unless you went into the expensive ones. I looked at bar stools ranging from 29$ to 4000$ so what do you want to spend?
You get what you pay for. I should have known that 3 barstools for <$*** were going to be cheap. I thought with the good reviews on this site, I would be OK. These stools we relatively easy to put together, however they are extremely wobbly, no matter what we did. The two support tubes are different lengths - WHAT?? We are going to keep them and try to get some furniture grippers or something to balance them out, but I would recommend something a little more high-end, unless VERY wobbly stools don't bother you.
I received these stools about two weeks ago. Assembly was pretty quick and easy and the stools are comfortable, sturdy and look great. You can't beat this deal.
These are a great addition to our kitchen. Match the cabinet hardware. The color on the website was accurate. They are comfortable, and were easy to assemble. And affordable. A winner!
barstools were very easy to put together, look very nice. The stools are comfortable and look great.
I purchased these barstools as a Christmas present for my daughter and son-in-law for their new home. They are very pleased with them. Three kids and a dog and they seem to be holding up well!
When we ordered these stools we had just had our kitchen remodeled. They look great and beat all the prices we had seen before we ordered them. The local stores had nothing to compare to these. They work and gook GREAT in our new kitchen. The bar stools would compliment any bar or kitchen. And delivery speed is exceptionally quick.
Well constructed. Soft and comfortable seats...nice addition to any decor
For some odd reason, my brother and father think that this chair is overpriced. I would have to disagree with them, but then they made a good point. You have to assemble these chairs by yourself. Although the instructions are very easy and clear (kudos to them for this as well!), Be prepared to put some time and elbow grease into completing the work. The only thing I don't like about this merchandise is that you have to screw on the cushions in sort of a freestyle manner. When I say that, I mean the cushions do not have premade holes or inserts for the screws. This could cause your cushions to be placed out of uniform with each other. ...You'll see what I mean should you happen to purchase them (and build them) yourself. Anyway, these chairs are nice. I've only been able to sit on them for a night. I hope they last for a long time. The style, material, and colors are great. :)

Born Elizabeth Téa Pantaleoni on Feb. 25, 1966 in New York City to parents Anthony Pantaleoni, a lawyer, and Emily Patterson, a nutritionist, Leoni grew up in Manhattan, where she attended the Brearley School as a young girl and went on to attend the Putney School in Putney, VT. Upon graduating high school, Leoni went on to study at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY, where she majored in psychology and anthropology. Passing up an opportunity to transfer to Harvard, Leoni took time off from college to travel, spending time in Italy, Japan and St. Croix, where she worked as a crew hand on a sailboat. While visiting Boston, Leoni auditioned, supposedly on a dare, for Aaron Spelling's "Angels 88" (1988) an update on the popular 1970s series "Charlie's Angels" (ABC, 1976-1981). Though Leoni landed the gig, the show never aired after a writer's strike put the series on hold. Leoni decided to continue her pursuit of acting, however, quickly landing a role on the soap, "Santa Barbara" (NBC, 1984-1993). She went on to make her film debut two years later as the "dream girl" in Blake Edwards' gender-bending "Switch" (1991). The following year, Leoni scored the role of a female first baseman in the WWII baseball comedy "A League of Their Own" (1992), in which Leoni accidentally hit Madonna with a baseball. In Lawrence Kasdan's overlong oater "Wyatt Earp" (1994), she shone as a tough frontier prostitute. She followed this up with her television debut on the Fox sitcom, "Flying Blind" (1992-93), in which she garnered rave reviews for her non-stereotypical portrayal of a flamboyant blonde bombshell. It was while doing press for her first major TV series as lead, that she was criticized for an infamous interview in which she said there wasn't enough sex on TV; at least not enough "all-American, healthy, fun sex."
Landing her first starring role on the big screen in 1995, Leoni appeared opposite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the Michael Bay action flick "Bad Boys." Portraying Julie Mott, key witness to a drug-related murder, Leoni brought attitude to what could have been a typical girl-in-distress role. Though the role gave her some much-needed career exposure, the shoot proved to be a difficult one for Leoni; an experience that almost made her quit the industry. Taking on a very different role in David O. Russell's comedy "Flirting with Disaster" (1996) - a film which Leoni credited with renewing her faith in Hollywood - she appeared as part of an ensemble cast led by Ben Stiller. Returning to television the same year, Leoni was cast in a starring role as tabloid photographer Nora Wilde on the NBC sitcom "The Naked Truth" (1996-1998). Taking up with the show's producer and creator, Chris Thompson, Leoni's personal life became tabloid fodder worthy of her character's work, in that Thompson was rumored to have left his wife for Leoni. Originally an ABC series, the show was soon bought by NBC, revamped and given a second shot, due mainly to the faith network brass had in Leoni's comic timing. Though "Truth" aired in the coveted post-"Seinfeld" Must See TV slot on the network, the show never caught on with viewers and went off the air in 1998. Leoni's relationship with Thompson was equally as short-lived; the pair split before the end of the series.
Tying the knot for the second time in 1997 - Leoni had been married briefly to director Neil Tardio from 1993-95 - Leoni surprised virtually everyone when she wed fellow actor and New Yorker David Duchovny in secret after a much publicized six-week romance. Though the press speculated that the romance would not last, Leoni and Duchovny proved to naysayer's wrong with a great appreciation for the others' intellect and humor, to say nothing of their bawdy escapades in the bedroom which Leoni and Duchovny had no problem spilling in interviews. Coming off her surprising nuptials, Leoni went on to appear in the box office feature hit, "Deep Impact" (1998). Portraying Jenny Lerner, an MSNBC reporter who discovers that a comet is headed directly for Earth, Leoni joined an all-star cast including Morgan Freeman, Robert Duvall and Vanessa Redgrave. It was really the first time the public took notice of her as a viable big screen leading lady.
Taking time off from work to start a family with Duchovny, Leoni gave birth to her first child, Madeleine West Duchovny, on April 24, 1999. Leoni returned to work the following year to star opposite Nicholas Cage in the holiday fantasy "The Family Man" (2000) which was bit too sappy and sentimental, even for holiday audiences. She went on to face off against dinosaurs in the sequel "Jurassic Park III" (2001) alongside William H. Macy and Sam Neill. Shifting gears, Leoni next starred as Woody Allen's movie producer wife in "Hollywood Ending" (2002) and appeared opposite Al Pacino as a celebrity with troublesome addictions in the well-regarded but little-seen "People I Know" (2002). Balancing motherhood with her acting career, Leoni gave birth to her second child, Kyd Miller Duchovny on June 15, 2002.
Returning to the screen in 2004, Leoni starred opposite Adam Sandler in James L. Brooks' critically acclaimed comedy "Spanglish." As Deborah Clasky, a high-strung, fitness-obsessed, controlling mother, Leoni managed to bring an endearing quality to the emotionally frayed character and provided audiences with the most raucous orgasm sequence on film since Meg Ryan's memorable scene in "When Harry Met Sally" (1989). Leoni next portrayed a mother grieving over the loss of her husband in "The House of D" (2004), the directorial debut of Duchovny. Leoni went on to star opposite Jim Carrey in the high-profile comedy, "Fun With Dick and Jane" (2005), a remake of the 1976 film starring Jane Fonda and George Segal. In the updated version, Carrey and Leoni played Dick and Jane Harper, a married couple so desperate to retain their deluxe suburban lifestyle they resort to armed robbery. Though Leoni and Carrey shared chemistry onscreen, the film was ultimately panned by critics.
Faring better in her next film, Leoni portrayed a less-than-grieving television ad exec who has lost her father, in the black comedy "You Kill Me" (2007), for which she eared critical praise and more than held her own opposite Ben Kingsley. Meanwhile, her seemingly perfect marriage to Duchovny appeared to be on the rocks when in October 2008, both confirmed that they had been separated for months. Speculation swirled that the cause of the split had to do with Duchovny checking himself into rehab that August for sex addition. Of course, Leoni continued on with her career, co-starring in David Koepp's "Ghost Town" (2008), in which she played the widow of a ghost (Greg Kinnear) who befriends a misanthropic dentist (Ricky Gervais). She went on to star opposite Billy Bob Thornton in "The Sweet Smell of Success" (2011) and Ben Stiller in the action comedy "Tower Heist" (2011), while her marriage with Duchovny appeared to be on the mend when the pair were frequently seen together. But in June 2011, it was reported again that the pair had split.

Smarter design cuts existing SRAM power consumption by 27-85%
Industry giant Toshiba announced the development of a technology which promises a substantial cut in embedded SRAM power consumption. Ideal applications include smartphones, tablets and mp3 players -- essentially any portable device with a reliance on high-performance system memory, where the technology may be used to save significant amounts of battery power.
Toshiba claims embedded memory modules could have their power usage cut by 27 percent, while a device equipped with its power-saving invention is in operation. While in standby, the technology promises to shave off a whopping 85 percent of memory chip power consumption.
Interestingly, the advancement doesn't rely on a SRAM redesign or a new memory type; rather, the technology employs a few circuit changes which add temperature sensitivity, predictive capabilities and dynamically adjust memory performance accordingly. Toshiba is essentially using "smarter" circuitry to lower power consumption.
Toshiba's new technology applies a BLPC and DCRC. The BLPC predicts power consumption of bit lines by using replicated bit lines to monitor the frequency of the ring oscillator. It minimizes the active power of the SRAM in certain conditions by monitoring the current consumption of the SRAM rest circuits. The DCRC greatly decreases standby power in the retention circuit by periodically activating itself to update the size of the buffer of the retention driver.

It's unclear exactly how much impact RAM has on power consumption in smartphones or other portable electronics; however, Engadget presumes RAM is one of the principal drains on a smartphone's battery. Due to RAM's volatile nature, even when your device is locked and the screen is off, its memory must remain constantly powered or the host device will cease to operate -- well, until a subsequent restart, at least. No doubt, this need hastens a smartphone or tablet battery's demise, even as it idles on someone's coffee table, untouched and locked.
Additionally, the greater amount of RAM -- the greater amount of power is consumed. Toshiba's advancement may be one way manufacturers can compensate for growing onboard memory sizes of 2GB and beyond, alongside possible future die-shrinks and other novel memory technologies.

Sounds like a very powerful improvement. There's so much that can be expanded upon, while keeping a solid battery life with this. Instead of the generally average or poor battery life of some products, especially under a really heavy use during the day to day tasks.
Looking forward to this being a reality in new products to come. It might actually interest me in something, with some actual battery life that won't seem absolutely terrible.
Sounds like a very powerful improvement. There's so much that can be expanded upon, while keeping a solid battery life with this. Instead of the generally average or poor battery life of some products, especially under a really heavy use during the day to day tasks.You know there would be longer battery life, if manufacturers quit packaging smaller batteries when their devices use less power. I am personally not interested in any device, that will not stay charged over a period of 24 hours usage.
Hold on... aren't static RAM modules extremely expensive for large capacities due to the "large" area and amount of transistors they need per bit? That's the reason why SRAM is used for cache and small, fast access memories; for bigger capacities like 2 GB DRAM fits better, needing just 1 transistor per bit and its parasite capacitor and a refresh circuit.
SRAM is more adecuate for small buffers, cache memory and some aid for the bigger and cheaper DRAM. Both volatile but just one of them needing refresh circuits. John Hennessy's computer architecture book back-ups me, not Wikipedia --even my former computer architecture teacher who works at Intel and gave us a more accurate current cost of the SRAM per MB, don't remember the exact amount [it was last semester] but it would cost thousands of dollars to manufacture SRAM in the order of GB.
It is a pity that Toshiba do not make phones to immediately utilise this tech advancement...

Testimonials Do Not Convert Patients from Brand to Generic Medication
John Beshears, James J. Choi, David Laibson, Brigitte C. Madrian and Gwendolyn Reynolds
Objectives: To assess whether the addition of a peer testimonial to an informational mailing increases conversion rates from brand name prescription medications to lower-cost therapeutic equivalents, and whether the testimonial's efficacy increases when information is added about an affiliation the quoted individual shares with the recipient.
Research Design and Methods: A total of 5,498 union members were randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 different informational letters: 1 without a testimonial (No Testimonial Group), 1 with a testimonial from a person whose shared union affiliation with the recipient was not disclosed (Unaffiliated Testimonial Group), and 1 with a testimonial from a person whose shared union affiliation with the recipient was disclosed (Affiliated Testimonial Group).
Results: The conversion rate for the No Testimonial Group was 12.2%, which is higher than the Unaffiliated Testimonial Group rate of 11.3% and the Affiliated Testimonial Group rate of 11.7%. The differences between the groups are not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Short peer testimonials do not increase the impact of a mailed communication on conversion rates to lower-cost, therapeutically equivalent medications, even when the testimonial is presented as coming from a more socially proximate peer.

Modeling Expert Opinions on Food Healthiness: A Nutrition Metric
Jolie M. Martin, John Beshears, Katherine L. Milkman, Max H. Bazerman and Lisa Sutherland
Research over the last several decades indicates the failure of existing nutritional labels to substantially improve the healthiness of consumers' food and beverage choices. The difficulty for policy-makers is to encapsulate a wide body of scientific knowledge in a labeling scheme that is comprehensible to the average shopper. Here, we describe our method of developing a nutrition metric to fill this void.
We asked leading nutrition experts to rate the healthiness of 205 sample foods and beverages, and after verifying the similarity of their responses, we generated a model that calculates the expected average healthiness rating that experts would give to any other product based on its nutrient content.
The form of the model is a linear regression that places weights on 12 nutritional components (total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, sugars, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron) to predict the average healthiness rating that experts would give to any food or beverage. We provide sample predictions for other items in our database.
Major benefits of the model include its basis in expert judgment, its straightforward application, the flexibility of transforming its output ratings to any linear scale, and its ease of interpretation. This metric serves the purpose of distilling expert knowledge into a form usable by consumers so that they are empowered to make healthier decisions.

Household Financial Decision Making
Individuals make many well-documented mistakes with their finances, such as not saving enough for retirement, paying too much in fees, and running up credit card debt. Recognizing that complexity is a significant barrier to financial decision making, Professor Beshears has explored how simplification can help. Looking at the retirement savings problem, he has studied a mechanism that allows employees to enroll in their employer's retirement savings plan at an asset allocation and contribution rate pre-selected by their employer and found that enrollment increased by 10 to 20 percentage points above a standard opt-in plan. Further, the effectiveness of this mechanism increases substantially when employees are offered repeated opportunities to use it. A similar mechanism is effective in motivating employees to increase the percentage of salary that they contribute to their savings plan. These innovations work because they give people simple, understandable choices, yet without eliminating the full range of options previously available. The results suggest applications in enrolling in health insurance plans and creating advance medical directives.

News in Brief: Gas, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Peter Case
By Mark Richardson on March 18, 2009 at 02:15 p.m.
-- I guess this is why people move to New York. The Wordless Music Series has put on events featuring the likes of Sigur Rós and Manuel Göttsching. On May 29, they'll host the first-ever U.S. performance by Wolfgang Voigt's Gas at the Miller Theatre at Columbia University. You may recall that all four Gas full-lengths were reissued last year as Nah Und Fern, and we dropped a deserved 9.2 on the set. Live, Voigt will mix his music with visuals derived from his photography for what's sure to be an immersive multimedia extravaganza. As if that weren't enough, on the same night Toronto's Contact Ensemble will perform a live rendering of Brian Eno's Discreet Music. Ambient heaven. Other Wordless Music Series events include sets from the Mountain Goats, John Vanderslice, the Books, (I know for a fact that they use words), and the U.S. debut of Jóhann Jóhannsson. Full line-up and schedule available at the Wordless Music Series site.
-- Pete Seeger, a folk music legend in his spare time, is turning 90. Who's playing his birthday party? A fellah named Bruce Springsteen, for one, and also John Mellencamp, Eddie Vedder, and more. It's going down on May 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Also, it benefits a cause, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, founded by Seeger, which aims to preserve and protect the Hudson River. There's a fancy invite and more info at the Seeger 90 website. Be sure to check out Joshua Klein's interview with the man himself.
-- Speaking of causes, singer-songwriter Peter Case, one-time leader of the Plimsouls and the Nerves, had open-heart surgery in January and did not have medical insurance. Paste reports that an organization called Hidden Love has been established to help him out.

Torres casts doubts over Blues future
Fernando Torres has cast serious doubt over whether his long-term future lies at Chelsea after calling for clear-the-air talks over what his role will be next season.
In a surprisingly candid interview with Guillem Balague, Torres has wasted little time in expressing his disappointment at missing out on a starting place in the Chelsea side that won the Champions League, going on to claim for much of his time in West London he has felt 'lost' and may even have 'given up' were it not for the support he has received from those close to him.
The greatest day in Chelsea's history saw them defy the odds once more in the Champions League in beating hosts Bayern Munich on penalties to claim what had become a Holy Grail for Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
Torres felt his improved form over the past month would earn him a starting spot but Roberto Di Matteo elected to go with Didier Drogba, who vindicated his manager's faith by scoring Chelsea's leveller before netting the winning penalty in the shoot-out after the two sides drew 1-1 after extra-time.
Torres did not get on the pitch at the Allianz Arena last night [Saturday] until Chelsea fell behind seven minutes from time.
The 28-year-old won the corner that saw Didier Drogba equalise and impressed in extra-time but he was not among those chosen to take a penalty in the 4-3 shootout win, which saw Drogba once again steal the limelight.
Torres added: "Before the game, I felt it was going to be one of my best moments and I came with great desire and ambition.
"But then I had to start on the bench. I felt huge disappointment when I saw the starting line up, maybe the biggest disappointment of my life.
"In the end, I was able to play a bit and help the team.
"Right now, I do feel it's all worth it but the truth is I've gone through some very bad moments."
The Chelsea squad enjoying a victory parade throughout the capital on Sunday but for Torres any delight over claiming Europe's premier trophy has been tempered somewhat by the fact he played only a minimal role.
Torres concedes he feels let down by how things have transpired at Chelsea since joining them in January 2011 for a record £50million fee and it is a situation he is determined to rectify as soon as possible.
Torres told Sky Sports' Balague on his website www.guillembalague.com: "It's contradictory because I feel like I'm at a peak moment in my career, with more desire and hunger than I've felt in a long time but I've had to spend the final on the bench. It was a huge disappointment when I saw the line-up, perhaps the biggest in my life.
"I thought I would play in this game and I couldn't imagine not doing so. But in the end I could participate and offer the team something. I'm really happy.
Watch: Torres to discuss his Chelsea future.. More Videos
"This season I have felt things that I never had before. I've felt like they treated me in a way that I didn't expect. Not in the way that was spoken of when they signed me. We've had a lot of talks and we'll talk about my future.
"I have been through the worst moments of my career during the season and I am not willing to relive those moments.
"There have been many ups and downs and many moments where I felt lost and I didn't know what to do and where to be.
"I want them to tell me what is going to happen in the future. Football has been fair on us, on me.
"Now I do feel like football is worth it but I've been through a difficult time. The worst in my career. I don't want that again. There's been many times when I've felt lost, I wasn't sure what to do. I felt like I didn't know where I belonged.
"I'm eternally grateful to my family who have been by my side and also for the support of the owners who have stuck by me. And especially to the fans, if it hadn't been for them this season I would have given up."
Although Chelsea have yet to indicate whether they will reward Di Matteo for guiding them to FA Cup and Champions League glory with a permanent deal, Torres seems in no mood to wait to learn of what he can expect from the club.
"I need the club to tell me what is going to happen and what sort of role I will have within the team, what my duties are, what the club expects of me," he concluded. And then judge whether it is worth it."
Prior to the penalty shoot-out Torres was seen to be in heated discussion with Di Matteo, who elected against using the Spaniard as one of his five designated takers.
Gary Cahill has since revealed he was next on the list were the shoot-out to go to sudden death, but it is Balague's understanding Torres was keen to step up and play his part.
Torres did not let his disappointment prevent him from joining in last night's [Saturday] ecstatic celebrations and was delighted to add the Champions League to his World Cup and European Championship titles in his first full season at Stamford Bridge.
"Destiny finally gave Chelsea something it denied them in Moscow," Torres said, referring to the Blues 2008 final defeat.
"People don't remember the runners-up. We had the luck champions have.
"This team, above all at the end of this season, has had those moments of a champion team.
"We had a star or an angel or whatever you want to call it that maybe they didn't have in Moscow.
"I feel football has been fair to me. The game is like that - many times when you feel at your best is when people count on you the least."

User Reviews for Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon California
Add your reviewI have a 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon bottle, when is the best time to opened? It's not a reserved.
The 2001s still rock. Deep red/chocolate color. Musty bouquet. Payoff is in the mouth. Incredibly smooth. Unusual, for a cabernet, cherry/berry fruit taste. However, make no mistake this is complex cabernet sauvignon. New sensations emerge as the wine moves through the palate. Finish is cinnamony (????). US$29.99 in 2005.
My first bottle since 3/28/06. When I last left this wine, it was asleep. It has awoken.... I think.Decanted 45 minutes. Lots of sediment evident. The color has the purple tinge on the edges. It seems like a younger wine by looks alone. The nose shows 'correct' qualities of cassis, red currant, and camphor. The palate show a flinty lushness of red fruits, cassis, and tar. There is now a hollow feel to this thats disturbing. It has no mid-palate. Finish is decent.I'm a bit dissapointed in this apparent 5 year wine. When I originally had it back in February 2005 it was a different animal altoghether. I have watched is demise.I have 6 more that will do hamburger deck duty this summer. 86/100
I think this is asleep.I had my 9th bottle over the weekend and it was untypical of itself. Somewhat dull, hidden fruit. A bit astringent. In any case I will hold my last 7 bottles for until 2007.
On track once again. Intense vibrant hue od brick with dark purple edges. Great true cassis and currant nose.On the tonque there was the Mondavi signature of balance and finesse. Great understated cassis, currant, and dark cherry cola. There is a clean smooth tannin/acid base that makes this good with food as well as on its own. A 30 second aftertaste completed the package.This is about a dozen times. I think this has emerged from its sleep and is willing to serve faithfully again.
A truly great bottle of wine. My wife and I BOTH enjoyed the powerful, yet smooth drinking cabernet. It was a little bright right out of the bottle, but settled beautifully after 30 minutes. There is a nice hint of the oak, and some depth to the finish... a grain that clung to the entire palette.
External Reviews for Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon California
Superripe, almost port-like aromas of roasted plum, cassis, mint and smoky oak. Offers wonderful sweetness and richness in the mouth. Very long on the back end; the substantial tannins become apparent quite late and cover more of the palate. This wine's suave finish makes the above Cabernet seem almost rustic in comparison. An impressive '96.
Rich and complex yet restrained in style, with pretty coffee, currant, black cherry, spice and anise flavors that fan out nicely, this California Cabernet turns particularly elegant and polished on the long finish. Drink now through 2007.
Packed with currant, black cherry, plum, cedar and spice nuances, finishing long and complete, this Mondavi reserve is a dark, immense, deeply concentrated and sharply focused red. Best from 2002 through 2012.
Ripe, dark, dense and earthy, with a rich core of currant, mineral and spice. Shows off pretty, toasty, spicy oak too, all the while maintaining a tremendous sense of elegance and finesse. Best for 2002 through 2010.
Deep, saturated red-ruby. Lively, complex aroma dominated by blackcurrant, licorice and tobacco. Sweet and quite deep but very tightly wrapped. much more difficult to taste than it was prior to bottling. finishes with tongue-saturating tannins. Very firmly structures; today, the wine's acids and tannins have not yet harmonized. A drier, serious style of cabernet, in need of bottle aging.
Supple, complex and harmonious with a broad range of currant, anise, coffee, cedar and spice flavors. Picks up light toasty oak notes finishing with a smooth texture.
Tasting Notes:
Deep, intense dark fruit character, with mineral, violet and earthy truffle complexity, distinguishes our 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. The wine is powerful yet elegant, with beautifully integrated firm, muscular tannins, promising long aging potential. Selected from our finest vineyards, our Napa Valley Reserve captures the complex flavor profile and exquisite balance of the Oakville bench region. The wine was handcrafted in our new To Kalon Fermentation Cellar with traditional techniques, including hand-sorting of the clusters, gravity-flow movement of the must and wine, and fermentation in a traditional oak tank. Sixteen months of aging in new French oak château barrels added vanilla and toasty oak accents. To retain fully this wine's enormous depth, texture and length of finish, we bottled it without fining or filtration. Deep, intense dark fruit character with mineral, violet and earthy truffle complexity. Firm, integrated tannins for aging, persistent finish. Powerful, yet extremely elegant
Notes: 100% New Oak

Glazers only care about themselves - fans' chief
Premier League - 1 year ago
Watching: They didn't receive the warmest of welcomes following their takeover of Manchester United in 2005. And opposition towards the Glazer family's ownership of the club has only intensified since then.
