  Well, my last bottle and a year since I had my last.
  
  Still powerful, full bodied, but softened with age
  Lots of all spice, some vanilla, and oak.
  Perfectly balanced. Long finish. I like it more a little cooler. (True cellar temp). This wine is fantastic and is fairly priced. case worthy. Note that this bottle is autographed by the owner. VGS!!!!
  
  Steak and fries for dinner (veg as well)

  Dark ox-blood, full bodied wine.
  Red licorice, red berries, hints of cotton candy
  Still robust in its delivery. Lots of fruit present, with a medium (+) finish. Rather extraordinary in its makeup. Soft, subtle, yet still exerts power. I absolutely love this bottle. I can't see it getting much better at this point. Side note. Bought this bottle from the winery and enjoyed a private tasting and tour of their vineyard. First class all the way.
  
  Smoked a Paul Stulac Fantasm

  Private tasting @ the vineyard
  
  Deep dark purple, full bodied
  Ripe plums, dark fruit resonates through the nose. some citrus notes coupled with wet stone and tobacco.
  Palate follows the nose, well balanced, concentrated flavors
  
  Thoroughly enjoyed the private tasting at the vineyard including the ATV tour of the grounds. Thanks Kaetlyn
