  Really settling in to a sweet spot.
  Reminds me of the longevity and complexity of Dunn Howell Mtn.

  In a beautiful spot right now. Tannins have relaxed, fruit brightness has subsided all into a very velvety wine. Dark fruit, mocha, pencil lead, slate, allspice....delicious at 20yrs old.

  4th Saturday group uptown tasting (M&R's): Blind. Dark fruit and floral elements with a hint of VA and maybe just a touch of bouillon here too. Nicely balanced; tannins are resolved and this glides across the palate. Dark fruit, plum, chocolate, and cherry cordial flavors. Lingering finish. This had been quickly double decanted off its sediment; poured in the 2nd flight just over two hours later.

  Beautiful wine 18 years in now. Full bodied fruit profile of black cherry, plum, and currant. Mid-palate notes of coffee, vanilla, spice, graphite with some subtle cedar and a dusting of cocoa. Smooth yet well integrated tannins at this point with a nice long finish.

  Nice black cherry, plum, currant up front. Typical earthy H.M. notes throughout. Smooth tannins on the end, good finish.
