Perfection in a glass. Like previous notes this needs a 4+ hour decant. Once it finally relents and opens it reveals sweet cedar and a depth of stewed plums and thyme that must be tasted to be believed. This is a wine that is getting better by the day….

Cedar infused happiness. This 2000 is just now hitting its stride. Perfectly stored and ready to drink now from a pop n pour night with Gino’s deep dish Chicago pizza this really was fun to drink. Besides a textbook cedar, this has gobs of tobacco and hints of classic lead pencil with soft tannin and a firm, long finish.

Like Brian’s note below this wine is singing. Perfectly stored and bought at auction this has the orange peel smell wrapped by stewed tomatoes and silky tannins. One of my favorite cake producers this wine over delivered.
