November 9, 2019 - Deep red color and light nose. Still plenty of red fruits on the palate, but lacking in acidity and balance. Cherry, blackberry on the somewhat short finish, with just a bit of pepper at the end.
Decanted an hour, which muted the fruit notes slightly on the palate and all but eliminated the pepper in the finish.
Admittedly, this has aged well but probably had more structure and balance when purchased in 2015 following a wine tasting dinner. -

September 10, 2016 - Q3 Tasting - Aged Cali (The Apt): Wine #19: Remember this one being a little bit lacking in acidity and a little bit overly fruit forward without enough of the balancing flavors. That being said, CT window much too short. This was still quite definitely going. (3 pennies)

September 10, 2016 - Q3 - 2016 Tasting - Aged California Wines - Pre 2006 (New York, NY): #19 of 20 wines tasted double blind. Ruby red in the glass. On the palate this was juicy red fruits, fresh, good acidity. Tasted very youthful and bright - energizing on the palate. Just outside the top 5 for me. For the group this was tied for 10th place with 3 pennies voted.

December 27, 2015 - Really coming on to it's own. Secondary flavors of tobacco,olive and forest floor. Burgess shows one again what a dozen years does to a wine.
Nailed it!
