  Drinking very well. The wine looks tawny colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry and walnut. It tastes like prune, cherry, melon, chocolate and honey. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  2003 Porto cask samples with Roy Hersh (Sammamish, WA): Well this is a plush little baby of a wine, very nice. Of all the wines, the spirit seemed uniquely integrated from the get-go, although with air it did peek out. Wow, this shows unreal balance, dancing acidity, round, surprisingly ready to enjoy, maybe a faint hint of coarse tannin on the finish. Overall, this was the most drinkable of the wines today, and the level of smoothness, balance and overall readiness is amazing. However, once the bag came off it seemed a little more obvious, as this label is indeed bred for more approachability. Very nice!
