April 28, 2012 - Fruit has fallen flat leaving just strong acidity since our last bottle... Showing signs of being past its prime - never was the best but was much more palatable in prior tastings.

February 11, 2012 - Dark garnet color. Ripe dark cherry and spice aromas aromas. Medium bodied palate: dark berries, black cherry, spice, and oak. Smooth medium length finish. Continues to drink quite well. Excellent all-round!

November 2, 2011 - Still drinking quite well. Dark red color. Beautiful nose with black cherry, spice, and leather aromas. Medium-full bodied palate: dark cherry, blackberries, spice, oak. Good complexity. Smooth medium-long finish. This was one of our wedding wines and we open a bottle around each anniversary in November, year after year this continues to improve.
