March 1, 2012 - Took about 30 minutes to open up in a decanter. A little heavy on the manure, but also tobacco, mint and some fruit left in it.

December 10, 2011 - I've had a couple of bottles of this that were pretty good, but it seems it peaked, as this bottle was just like Noahc described below - mostly medium acid, almost non existent fruit. Drinkable, but not really enjoyable.

I tried the '05 cab a year and a half ago and the cedar almost ruined the bottle. With this bottle, both Medlock's fantastic merlot coupled with some bottle age added up to a very interesting wine. Kudos.
