Wow this has really held up well, drinking beautifully right now with a solid fruit core. Has some life left to go a little longer if further maturation is desired.

One More Time: Tasted blind. After a little discussion about vineyard sources and Cab Franc, we had zeroed in on Baer for this wine. Several in the group really enjoyed this bottle.

9L party (Woodinville, WA): Tasted from magnum. After tasting the 02 Arctos from magnum and not enjoying it like I used to, I was a little concerned on this one. This was much better. The nose had dark fruit aromas with some tobacco and cedar notes. The palate had currant and dark cherry flavors along with some nice earthiness and pepper. Medium to full bodied with a medium length finish. I've got a couple 750s of this vintage as well, but I'm not concerned about them like I am the 02s.

Rich fruit flavors with some cola and vanilla notes. Silky smooth. Nice floral and cedar aromas on the nose.
