    December 15, 2018 - Gentle nose of blue fruits & berries. Soft mouth feel but not flabby. Drink now.

    December 25, 2013 - currant, plum, & raisin aromas; nose held up well even after 11 years. on the tongue is where it shows past peak, lacking structure though not jammy. slightly bitter attack with quick fade; only left with mouth warmth & hint of raisin after a minute. if not for the disintegrating structure, score would have been low 90s; 2011 was probably last best-enjoyed year.

    March 22, 2013 - Did not stand the test of time. Tanins spent and on the verge of bricking. So, the rest of the family liked it. I though it was flabby without character or complexity. I would have gone 82 but family pressure was to go higher. I see a LOT of bottles in cellars. Drink it now before you have to pour down the drain.

Drank with wild game. It had mellowed too much. Not a good pairing.
