  July 6, 2014 - Wow. Powerful nose. Blackberries and currants with a long finish. At its absolute peak right now although sadly my last bottle.

  January 4, 2013 - On opening, nice fruit but rough tannins. With a couple hours decanting, the fruit and tannins both faded, to the point that it provided little taste (but nice body) to go with the ribeye I had prepared. But on its own, when I could pick up the more subtle flavors, it was yummy, and even better the second night.

  August 15, 2010 - Surprisingly good after holding for a few years. Decanter for three hours. Well balance.

  October 5, 2009 - This is my third and final bottle of this, the last one was consumed late 2006. I think it is starting to fade as it was nowhere near as good as the last two. Still a great wine, but I think it's time to drink up.

  September 19, 2009 - Popped and poured. Far too oaky starting off. Dries the tongue out like whoa. A tiny bit of dusty fruit peeking through, but it strikes me as over the hill. The oak burns off a little as it opens up after a few hours, but is replaced by tart red cherries. Improved slightly on the second night. I'd definitely decant this for a couple hours if I got it again.
