This wine has been properly cellared - well, for the most part. It is past its peak. There is still some fruit present but the structure is gone. The tannins are very soft and it will be undrinkable in a year, I think. Some notes of cherry and plum. If you have it, drink it. Today!

Shared with pat, adele, Mario, rocco, Gina and Mario's cousin from Montreal. Dark plum color. Very aromtic floral nose. Light body. Some leather but classy nonetheless. Still needs to integrate some acid. Not headed for greatness but very enjoyable. My bottle had no sediment. Barrel differences?

- Garnet color with medium forming legs with a medium/full body - Last bottle and shows no sign of being past it's prime. Lots of sediment so handle with care, but very smooth and full bodied.

Brick in color. Lots of sediment, so be sure to decant with a screen. Lovely oak overones - figures with almost two years of aging in new French oak . Crafted wine with considerable depth. SO very glad I have another bottle to drink...maybe in another two to three years. Among the top ten wines we've ever had. Held up to that grilled marinated filet beautifully. Silky beyond measure.
