Still drank very well after all of these years. (Note: it's been well cellared. Thank you Justin Vineyards for using quality corks.) Decanted and let sit for approximately an hour. It lost some of the fruit forwardness, which I thought it made it more appealing.

Day One: Dark purple red. popped & Vinturied into glass. Dark berries, medium-full body, fruit forward, fine-grained tannins, not fully integrated. A bit of a raw, unfinished feel to it that I find often characteristic of Justin wines, but a pleasure to drink. Very good with food.

This wine is drinking much better now than when released. There is a bit of fruit (mostly berries) a decent mouthfeel, and a dry finish. Better with food. 4+11+17+7+50=89

Very solid with big red cherry and some strawberry flavors. A little off balance towards the end after being open an hour or so, but still an oustanding wine.
