Spouse had opened before I got around have a glass or two. Was ill just a couple days prior and senses aren't clicking on all cylinders. Having said that I continue to like this bottling. Blue / black fuits with savory herbs. Tannins are still firm but are not in your face and are a nice welcomed accompaniment. Saw a more recent vintage around town and this reminds me I should pick up more.

I was afraid I waited to long to drink this but it was excellent. The dryness of the wine paired well with a ribeye.

Drinkly incredibly. Isn't it great to feel a bit smug that you saved some bottles. 10 years and smoooooooooth.

Not quite as good as an accompaniment to a duck dinner. Excellent wine nonetheless. Long decanting needed to open up the flavors.

Very smooth. Did not decant. Tastes like a French wine more than CA.
