Starting to fall apart. I gave this 93 in '07, 90 in '11 and 87 today. Pretty clear trend here. Plus note that the average cellar tracker paid $60 for this bottle and the current auction price is $25. Drink yours and hope there's still something left.

Beautiful purple/ruby and offers bouquet of of dark berries, coffee, chocolate, and smoke. Pretty plush in the mouth with flavors of currants and mocha. There is definitely smoke and oak but not overbearing. Well integrated with medium finish. Will definitely go well with porterhouse (wish I was having one tonight).

Very nice - soft well integrated tannins, reasonable complexity and a decent finish. No complaints

Still drinking nicely but maybe not quite as well as a couple of years ago. Bright currant fruit - medium to full body - high acidity.

Same as previous = this one had about an extra hour open as I opened both at the same time. Didn't notice a huge improvement....
