October 2, 2011 - I have four tasting notes over ten years for this wine and this resembles the earliest tasting back in the year 2000 - Fairly complex and medium fullness - black berries and currant turn to a layer of mocha/coffee, with a hint of anise and sage, with moderate finish Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

November 23, 2009 - Interesting experiment, picked some of this up online fully expecting it to be undrinkable and dead, but it was nice. Initial nose of grape jolly rancher candy, then turning to a nice plum taste. Still lots of fruit, although the fruit is aged and has a little raisin prune thing to it its not bad at all, I really enjoyed this whine, nice soft oak on finish a touch of smooth old tannin.
