  Surprisingly still good. Found one last bottle in a rack reorg. In the nose, strawberry and old, wet leather. Dark in the glass, tinge of brown. First taste, what's left of the anise, bitter cherry, and Alexander valley dust - in a good way! Kind of an old world taste, but decidely thin on the details. Still, very enjoyable for the Filet and quite strong against most of the Cali competitors.

  Probably waited a bit toooo long. Hidden away in the cellar. Color was nice, very deep and garnet like. The legs are fast but there was virtually no nose, and no discernable body. Slight tannin's but definitely past its prime, if there was one.

  Tasted on day three after opening and there's not much left. Musty, skunky nose with limited fresh fruit aroma, hot alcohol on the mid-palate but still an attractive black currant finish.
