  Big wine with layered body remaining. Almost no fruit left.

  Initially still firm with dark berry fragrance and character. Acidity is nicely balancing. Best with a short decant, though it retains its structure over 60-90 minutes. As previously, a balanced Euro-Bordeaux character which belies its New World (Washington) origins. A solid wine drinking well now. Not for holding.

  Deep red-ruby. Dark aromas of berry fruit & minerals. Very good acidity provides a European character. Tannins are still strong but not overwhelming. Not close to declining, but enjoyable now with a 1-2 hour decant. Doing very well. (Light fine sediment... nothing to worry about)

  Decanted briefly and filtered thinking there would be sediment, but there was just a pinch of sediment, like fine sea sand. The nose is mountain berries—strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry—and also the berry skin, as if it's been blended into a smoothie. It's sweet and feminine, but you can smell the slight bitterness of the broken fruit skin, i.e tannins. The tannins are integrated on the palate, however, and the wine seems to be at mid-maturity. It seems like a 10-year-old St. Emilion with less minerality and more sweet, blue, mountain fruit. Again, there's this blended berry textural aspect to the fruit and mouthfeel. The profile loses the strawberry on the palate but there's plenty of that mountain blueberry with lesser darker blackberry-type fruit in the background. The palate also has some soaked barrel notes, not un-integrated oak, but what seems like a permanent stain from the oak ageing, which I don't like but it doesn't detract too much from the wine itself. Best drinking probably now-2015.
