  Graphite, plumb and pleasant dark fruit. Gritty tannins, medium finish. Nice wine. Impressive that it’s holding up nicely 10 years on.

  Drank from Magnum with a brief decant. Wine is still nicely intact, just starting to show brick color around the edges. Smooth wine with well integrated tannins, so quite easy to drink. New Oak was noticeable, along primary red fruits and currant. Special occasion as we dropped off our oldest daughter (born 2010) at sleepover camp for the first time.

  This didnt go over well with mixed crowd at xmas eve. I liked it though. Had an old world bordeaux profile. Little bit of barnyard funk. Not terribly complex but definitely rolling into secondary flavors with strong leather and cigar box notes.

  Drinking perfectly. Notes of black cherry, Cedar, and plum. Hints of cigar box and overall teruary characters starting to become pronounced. Acid and alcohol in harmony. Very nice indeed.

  Drank partial bottle using Coravin. Smells fantastic with excellent structure. Drinking well already with potential for further development.
