Think this is drinking perfectly. Fruit is subtle, not jammy. Tannins and acid are balanced. Nose and taste of crushed dark fruits, leather cedar and spices. Medium-long, smooth finish. 89-90

Ann Arbor Wine Tasting (Jonathon's): Seemed older than its years. Early garnet coloring; mature nose, a little barnyard and bandaid. Dark raspberries fading on nose and palate. A good value, but in or close to decline.

Per previous notes. Great bang for the buck. Mature now, but seems like it could go a couple of more years...but why wait and risk?

Very dry, losing fruit. Nice full body. Oak prominent. Probably better a couple of years ago.
