  December 9, 2023 - The Columbia Group - Two and a Half Years Later (Our Place): Popped the cork, poured a half glass, then allowed both to slo-ox for about 45 minutes. Periodic sampling showed the wine opening with a broadening set of aromas (dark fruit and earth) and flavors (blackberry, red currant and touches of graphite and oak). The acidity was just a bit overbalanced, and all tannins were integrated.
  This wine was a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabermet Franc and 3% Merlot. I think a bit more air up front - maybe a one hour decant - would have helped as I couldn't help thinking that something was missing - especially given the winemaker and grape source. Or was it because it was up against a really fine bottle of 2003 Cos d'Estournel? Either way, there are many years of enjoyment ahead.

  October 28, 2023 - PnP. Opened up over an hour, and by the end of two hours it had only faded a bit. Cork in great shape. Opened side by side with a 2012 vintage which needed an hour in the decanter. Beautiful wine.

  October 6, 2023 - Thi is really good. Notes of licorice, dark plum, pencil shavings, and a little dried fruit. A bit hot, but still terrific.
