  Rock solid. Aged incredibly well. Smoke, chocolate, earthy, wet leaves and black fruit. Super rich and full bodied. Like butter!

  At 10 years it continues to develop. Tannins have softened, finish is long. Cassis on the nose and in the mouth with hints of chocolate and prune. This is proving to be a great wine.

  Full-bodied, but holds its 15% ABV pretty well. Not as interesting as I'd hoped for, and not thinking there is more complexity to come by holding.

  This wine is evolving in a very nice way - greater depth and smooth edges now. Cassis and bakers chocolate. The only flaw remains the alcohol - the wine is just hot on the back-end and it seems even more prominent now than it did a couple years ago.
