December 24, 2018 - Very good but did not have the balance or exquisite layers of the Volcanic Hill served side by side. Bordeaux like qualities of earth, oak and leather on the palate with notes of bright, red fruit. The fruit was sweeter than I expected with maybe a hint of cola on the finish. Still, it’s Diamond Creek, sooooo.

I own quite a few of these, because we had a 2005-vintage baby, but sadly they won't make it to her 21st birthday. Wines from '05 that kept their alcohol in check, however, should do just fine.
