  February 16, 2014 - Spectacular. What was once a highly tannic, chewy wine has morphed into a silky smooth, velvety soft pleasure. Heady scents of cassis, raspberry, chocolate, licorice, ands coffee waft from the glass, but are just a prelude to the real action on the palate. A pure beam of red and black fruit, underlaid by spice box and tobacco notes, with enough tannin to provide structure and great acidity to round out the experience. Very long finish. Parker got this one right. Almost 12 years down; I could see it drink well for another 12.

  January 21, 2011 - Liver Killing with TWG and jar! (Lucio's BYOB, Houston): Popped and poured, this needed a lot more time and air than we gave it. Tight nose of cherry, plum, mocha, spice, vanilla. On the palate, black fruits, mocha, vanilla. Finishes with strudy tannins. Not scored but this does have the structure to go a long way. I would love this wine with a long decant or five more years in the bottle.

  June 14, 2010 - Ruby color, beautiful bouquet and long finish. Tannins are completely integrated and this wine is perfectly balanced. Outstanding. Paired nicely with grilled lamb chops.
