July 13, 2018 - From reading the other notes, I'm very glad my cellar is at 53-54 degrees because this last bottle was drinking very well. Still had plenty of dark fruits, blackberries, black raspberries, black cherries, and licorice. Medium to full bodied and a very smooth medium to long finish with no hint of the 15.7% alcohol level. 91/92

January 26, 2014 - Rich red fruit on the nose. Fruit fades early on the palate but a firm structure remains as does a bit of harshness (might be the 15.9% alc) There's still a moderate acidity in the mid-palate and the wine in no way seems "flabby" but the finish is definitely disjointed and has an odd sort of burn to it. To be honest , this wine doesnt seem like an 11 yr old CA Rhone blend but then again its not a ton better for all those years either and I'm in no way convinced it will improve with any more time. Drink it now if you've got it :-)

January 13, 2014 - Medium-light red color, garnet edged. Aroma of cranberry, blueberry, dried prune, raisin, and Thai temple incense stick. Low-medium tannin, medium acidity. If a wine can taste goop-y, have sweetness of burned fruit and still seem strangely under-ripe as well, this may be the best case. This was a gift from 2007, and I didn't taste an example of this young, but this bottle makes me think of Shenandoah Valley zinfandel (or Amador county, of just very hot climate sourced fruit) that probably was better drunk very young than at age ten.
