Truly special. This bottle is better than the last and conflicting tasting notes while drinking two bottles so close together tells me it's time to drink up. This bottle had mature fruit and perfect balance. This Bordeaux blend was truly outstanding. This bottle was much more in balance than the last so drink up - bottle variation tells me we are at the end of the line as some bottles are strong and others are past their prime. Drink up with big beefy food (or lamb) and enjoy. I have 1 more bottle and will plan a dinner around it and hope for the best!

Yum! On the down side but still strong and delicious; just enough acid to keep it balanced - don't sleep on this, drink up and enjoy!

While this is not going to improve at this point, and I would suggest it is most likely on the way down, this bottle was outstanding. We enjoyed it with prime quality NY strip and it did not disappoint. The Washington Red Mountain certainly showed through with red fruits and enough tanin to carry it through. The 14.9% alcohol certainly didn't hurt the wines ability to show favorably. Don't bury this wine yet but also don't delay drinking it - drink up and enjoy!
