  My last MFN 2006. Did a pop and pour and it was ready to go. Nose of dark fruits, booze and Tobacco. Tannins have smoothed since the last bottle but they are still rocking. I was pleasantly surprised how well this bottle has aged and wish I had more to try down the road.

  Good, but somewhat disjointed. Similar to the last bottle a couple years ago. Maybe needs more time?

  Color: inky purple/ruby -> dark ruby rim. Bouquet of iodine, crushed rock, cassis, graphite. Palate presented minerals and cassis and was quite medicinal (in a good way). Large scaled wine but not overripe or jammy. The bordeaux elements really take over in this wine. I'm usually not a fan of Cab/Syrah combos (Domaine Trevallon being an exception), but this really works. Tannins are noticeable still but soft and fine. Wonderful finish and excellent acidity makes the wine almost seem juicy. Quite attractive; brooding, masculine . . . a thinking man's (or woman's) wine.

  Really cool wine. Layered flavors, kept me guessing. Complex, yet fruit forward. Watch out for special things from this winemaker. Who would have guessed a wine from Paso would blend Syrah, cab and petit verdot. that's crazy talk!

  Just Great. Blend of Syrah (34%) and equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, with no single varietal in domination. Dark, luxurious fruit, vanilla bean, cassis, and a sprinkle of pepper. Half way between medium and full bodied. Decanted in the glass at BYO restaurant, which worked, but a longer decant wouldn't hurt.
