Wine with friends (at Lake Michigan) (Mike and Lori's (near Shelby MI)): Biased review. Just cause we could, I opened this late. Pop and pour, it is still tight and i would hold these or give them air. Mike finished it the next day and (politely?) said it showed well. Good black raspberry fruit with some depth. Just very tight. Still, fun to share with friends.

Wine for Passover 2017; 4/15/2017-4/16/2017 (Our Seder at Home): I know this is not Kosher for Passover, but we really enjoy being able to share our wines on holidays especially with non-geeks and people who have never tried it before. We are comfortable with that but understand some might not be. Our apologies. I hadn't had a 2010 in quite some time. They were shut down hard last time. I popped the corks at 8:00 am and we drank at about 9:00 pm. Deep purple in color. The nose is open showing black raspberries, white pepper, slight smoke and roasted meats. On the palate, this is drinking well with this much air. Still young and not at peak though. Maybe a late teenager? Lots of juicy black raspberry fruit. Slight blueberries. Some earthiness. Nice finish. Honestly, it my biased opinion it seemed great but that was also after some disappointing Kosher wines. :-) Anyway, I would still hold these, drink the 11's and the 9's or maybe the 12's.

Drinking really well now but by no means done in the cellar. Opaque purple, rich and dark; black fruit and pepper on the nose and full spice box in the mouth following the initial fruit. Complex favors and long. Medium-full body with good structure and mouth feel.

Drinking well now with the structural components completely integrated. Flavors unchanged from my last note.
