pretty insane how much better this wine is now approaching 14 years old… and there is zero browning around the edge and super thick tannins remain… this will age another 10+ years easy and looks to be hitting its stride now

the nose is for sure improved and overall experience is more balanced, with a smoother finish.... it is beginning to feel like I missed on this one in that it is more of an Old World wine than New in style which I was expecting, but am happy to concede; I'm still not willing to rate this a rock star, but I am guessing it will continue to improve with age. If so, I'll happily admit that Janet Myers has done a better job with her high end wines than I first thought, such as my 2008 Stylus has turned out to be just amazing recently. Hopefully, the real issue is these are meant to age, and this speaks really well for the more recent and better vintages like the 13s and 14s.

5/28/2017 - Tfdmedicman Does not like this wine:
The bouquet on this wine was not good which was the first bad sign. The flavor was not what I remembered when I tried it at the winery.
