Nice color, nice finish, still a good balance of fruit and tannins and secondary flavors. However, a nose and finish of stewed fruits never dissipated. Drank alongside a Second Flight, a HSS, and an Insignia, all with age - none had this nose/flavor, and all were more enjoyable. Not terrible, but not really enjoyable.

Unbelievably delicious bottle of wine. Drank it along with a bottle of 2005 Canon La Faffeliere at Vaca Steakhouse in Costa Mesa. PNP, this was great from the 1st moment and just kept getting better through out dinner. Layers and layers of flavors come in waves over the palate. This wine makes me thankful that I get to drink something like this once in a while!

Seven hour decant and not budging. Intense, modern, high alcohol. Not my thing.
