October 5, 2013 - Still good but it's time. Decanted and drank over several hours. Better without the pizza. Nice earth, little blackberry left. It's only going to go downhill though so drink up!

September 6, 2012 - Last bottle. Still nice with lots of old world flavors. Veggies, earth, herbs. Fruit is pretty much gone. Went down easy. Still sitting in the 89-90 point range.

September 1, 2011 - Smokey nose of meat and earth. A bit up and down over the course of our meal. Initially, nice mouth feel with notes of meat, mushrooms and oak. It then went through a short period of not offering up much at all. Then, with some pretty decent filets it came back life showing black fruit and secondary flavors of game and dirt.
