  Sometimes you feel like you opened a bottle on the exact right day. Every aspect fit well into a cohesive whole, where no single element stuck out. Really enjoyrd by both of us, so adding our tasting notes seems almost pointless (besides, GUTT22 already summarized this perfectly).

  This is drinking beautifully. Lovely nose of black cherry and baking spice. In the mouth, elegant and quite plush, with a close knit mouth feel and gloriously juicy black cherry fruit. Sails across the palate nicely, with refined acidity and a strong finish. A-

  Similar to my last 3 tastings: "flowers (mostly roses), raspberry, black cherry, some blackberry, RRV cola, violets, leather and ... vanillin (but not overbearing). As the wine opened, it seemed as if there was something anise-like in the background. Similar flavors, along with touches of chocolate. Rich, intense and full bodied fruit. Excellent balance and structure. A long and extended finish." Still in its drinking plateau - has a couple or so years left.

  Memorial Day tasting - similar to my last tasting of 3-16-2013. In memory of LCDR Larry Jordan, a fellow serviceman. He was returning to the USS Kitty Hawk from the Philippines when his plane, a KA3B aerial tanker, was purportedly shot down on April 12, 1966. His name is listed on The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, PANEL 6E LINE 106.

  Dark red, clear. Restrained nose of mushroom, pencil shavings and roses. Brisk acidity and medium tannins. Broad mouthfeel, with flavors of BBQ meat, soy, black tea, strawberry, blueberry. Long finish. This wine is still going strong and seems young and fresh. Very tasty.
