  July 5, 2013 - Actually liked this more this time when compared with chateau st jean cinq cepages. This blew the 02 away. I guess napa won that round. The fruit was powerful and expressive exploding with blackberry pie, cherry & creme brûlée. Well rounded, soft and polished but not overly dense. I wish it had more structure or character at this point. Nice finish & integrated acidity & tannins.

  June 9, 2013 - Fruit started to take a backseat to a bit of leather and pencil shavings however cherry & blackberry showing up. Nicely balanced with the fruit still up front. The tannins have mellowed but still offer up structure & provide a backbone. Acidity was nice and the finish was awesome. Well balanced offering nice complexity & beautifully done. Very good. Still in its window. I'd drink this up for another few yrs.

  December 4, 2011 - Part of a vertical, oldest consumed. Still had some tannins with good fruit, nice balance. We thought better than the 2003.

  February 11, 2011 - Had to run it through the Venturi twice and then let it sit. Finally it opened up. Had it with pasta and meatballs in Rao's marinara sauce. Not too shabby.
