  Better than expected at 89 but still only fair. I can't recall anything out of Knight's Valley that was better than mediocre, this is no exception.

  Still quite dark and fully garnet coloured. Nose is fully mature. A bit horseiness, lots of leather, cigar box and subdued dried and dark red fruits - mostly sour cherry and mulberry. Very tertiary. The palate is tart and dry. Not much fruit left and what is there is like the nose - dry and dark red. Smooth, still a bit of black tea tannin. Quite a long finish that is tertiary and a bit puckery. Probably past it's time bit still drinkable and interesting nonetheless.

  Has not lasted this long (as expected). A bit of brett in the nose and in the taste. Fruit has faded quite a bit (but not entirely) leaving some tartness. A real drink-up, it's on its last legs.

  The color surprised me, dark garnet with no sign of bricking at the rim. Lots of dried cherry and plum, maybe some ash on the noose. In the mouth, the dried fruit dominates, and lots of (too much) acid. There was a fair amount of sediment in the last glass. Still, better than I expected.
