Very deep and dark burgundy red. Notes of cedar, coffee, mint, loam and bing cherries. Layers of dark chocolate, coffee, rip red figs, cherries and licorice. Terrific wine with a nice long finish. This wine has another three to five years of cellar time.

At JClub. This bottle was more refined and integrated than I remember the last one being. Still some oak and vanilla, but better balanced. Still packs a whallop, but I found this more pleasing than previously. Not a style I prefer anymore though.

16 months after last note, dark rich full bodied really good. Very fragrant, quite bold, but well balanced. Long. Frankly the nose drives this, very fragrant.

Bold blend of 80% syrah, 17% merlot, 3% cab sauv. Drinking great now, with still a few years left.

Huge amounts of dark fruit on nose. Long finish that still drinks relatively young.
