December 10, 2017 - Still delicious, but faded a bit over 3 hours. I left a glass for day 2 tasting, and I should have finished the first day!

November 22, 2012 - I think it is in a slump... After an hour of being closed the wine began to blossom. Saving the other 1/3 bottle to try tomorrow and see what it does. This has been a great wine in the past. Dark fruit is a bit muted and you can tell that there is a bigger backbone to be had, but its hiding.

April 2, 2012 - This might be fading early. I remember this being much better, but no detailed notes. Light in color and texture. Pleasant fruit, but lacking much complexity (pepper, vegetal notes, etc). Definitely tasty and a decent value, but this was really a knockout in its youth. Leads me to believe I need to crack into those 2008's now!
