  December 14, 2018 - The 2003 and 2004 both continue to impress! Still plenty of acid, tannin and concentration of dark fruit to continue for another 4 or 5 years. Dark in color with a moderately yielding nose of herbs, cedar and bramble. Blackberry, stewed plums and dried fruits mingle with dark cocoa and tobacco notes with tannin still not fully integrated. Opens up beautifully over 2 or 3 hours - wow!

  May 20, 2017 - Wow, still in fabulous shape. Dark red in color. The palate is full of sweet red fruits. This wine is still not fully mature. Drink now with a decent decant, or let it alone for a few years. Bravo!

  September 13, 2014 - My 35th B-day (Capital Grille & mi Casa): 90 upon opening and 93 with the last taste. A very dark and inky big PS. It was oozing dark fruit and black pepper. A little one dimensional but in this case this is not a bad thing, the fruit shines so well and drinks so smoothly.
  Drinks well upon opening and showed well after 3-4 hours of air.

  July 4, 2014 - A very dark, inky petite sirah, classic Vince!! Drinking very nicely right now, opens up quickly exposing nice complexity with some fruit over earthy which is just how I like my sirah!! Enjoy!!

  January 20, 2013 - Better effort but still not as good as I remember the 90's vintages and 2000, maybe I will hold off and my other bottle for a few years.
