12/7/2009 - Grinner wrote: 87 pointsBrick rim and dense core. It was similar to my last bottle but "barnyard" notes are a bit beyond the "it adds to the complexity" level. It's very fragrant, with some dark fruit and black olive again. Palate remains complex and the fruit ripe. Wife liked it more than I did... |

9/26/2009 - Grinner wrote: 90 pointsStill a nice dense ruby/purple color, it has a penetrating nose of dark fruit, minerals, earth, and a bit too much black olive for my taste. Palate echoes the nose, with very nice density and length. Very sturdy still, reminds me of some Howell Mtn wines I've had. |

I am a huge howell mtn fan and was very, very disappointed with this effort. I tried this over a period of 5 hours trying to get it to come around, but I never found the fruit. |

2/22/2009 - winegr wrote: 90 pointsStill tight. Lots of good balance and more of a bordeaux-like balance and complexity, but the fine grained tannins are drying and hide the medium amount of fruit there. Nice acidity balances out the wine and make it maintain some freshness. Better Day 2 with more complexity coming out and the tannins slightly less pronounced. Probably would have been good far another day as well. Drink with heavy, double decanting or hold. Don't think this will ever be great. 50/50 as to whether this gets better wiith time versus what a long decant will get you. 89-90. |

12/19/2008 - matthen wrote: 89 pointsCompare to previous note. Tannins have become more integrated, but the fruit has begun to recede. This will still be good for next couple years. The aromas have developed very nicely to include leather, cedar and sage. Nicely done, and better than two years ago. |

9/19/2008 - silvercup wrote: 90 pointsNice aromas of leather, tea, dried cherries, potpourri, red currant, guava, and anise. Flavors of dried cherries, oak, dust, and tea. Good acidity, still bright on the palate, through the earth and dusty aromas. Tannins were definitely prevalent, but overall the mouthfeel was pretty silky. |
