Saturday, August 30, 2008 - Originally purchased at the winery; decanted 30 minutes; bouquet of cedar, blackberries, black currant; on the palate the wine was much smoother than the last time we drank a bottle (July, 2004); tannins resolved but still linger on the finish; not as much heat, still great fruit character of blackberry, cedar, slight smoke, massive black cherry... what a wine, it keeps going. We're giving it another 5 - 10 years of life... easily.
