November 6, 2017 - 2005 O`SHAUGHNESSY HOWELL MOUNTAIN MERLOT- this bottle went through some very interesting phases; I had to avoid going deep in the nose as the alcohol hit was huge and then the super ripe black fruit came on as hot and heavy; there was also a medicinal note that played throughout; in time, some of the better virtues peeked out, but just a bit; the finish was also unexpected as the fruit got real sweet as if from residual sugar.

April 11, 2013 - I probably should have decanted this wine before drinking. The nose was pretty hot and it was somewhat tannic on the palate. More cellar time might help.

March 8, 2013 - intense dark purple with aromatics including coconut, Eucalyptus and spice which joins in with the ripe black fruit which is a tad tart; very good
