Rich nose with a hint of age that matches the light orange around the edges; a bit of graphite balances the fruit. Still drinking very well, and probably has enough tannins to survive awhile longer -- I'll save my last bottle another year.

Decent nose with fruit, chocolate and leather. Medium-bodied palate with modest complexity. Well integrated and balanced. WS refers to a leathery note, which aptly describes a bit of the undercurrent with this one. One more bottle in the cellar, which will be consumed soon. I don't see this one getting much better with additional age.

From Randy's cellar. Garnet colored. Notes of blackberry, pepper and blueberry. Palate is balanced, with blueberry and plums. Slightly tart on the finish. A good wine to drink near term.

Good for a bit, but over the hill.

Deep, seductive, plum. Paired very well with spicy pasta.
