Saturday, October 6, 2012 - My first bottle of the '06 after storing it in the cellar since release. Bottom line: this is excellent juice. Dark garnet. Nose of smoke, vanilla, spice, blackberry, and cassis. Ripe full palate of blackberry, cassis, graphite, cedar, spice, and espresso. Excellent length. Pleasant mountain-top acidity. Sweet tannins. Integrated oak. Drinking well now, but structured to last many more years.
