Sunday, July 3, 2005 - Decanted 2 hours before taking it to dinner with some friends. I should have opened it earlier but wasn't thinking ahead. Dark purple color and nose of chocolate and coffee. Velvety smooth tannins and dark fruit/blackberry flavors. Nicely balanced and still has a long way to go. This vineyard is showing the best out of the single vintages I have tried, 01/02 Howell Mtn Est, 02 Chafen and 02 Wykoff.
