Opened the wine on a particularly chilly night outside on an October fishing trip and it was still outstanding. Wonderful, pleasing palate that made it the hit of the night vs some other very nice wines. Drink now or in the next several years.

Almost followed my last note - gave this 8yrs versus 10!
1+hr decant. Dark purple color. Dark cherries, licorice, and anise on the nose. Lovely texture. Napa sweetness with hints of spice and cocoa. Chewy wine with a medium finish. Very nice!

Wonderful wine. Big with dark fruit, and a bit spicy. PnP, held it's own for three hours. Exceptionally long finish. Well balanced, and tannins have moderated but still make their presence felt. Cork in great shape. Guessing 3 - 5 years for this bottle.

Beautiful right out of the bottle, opened up and improved over the next hour. Has more time. Cork in great shape.

Consistent with earlier notes. Wonderful wine. Decanted 60 minutes. Nice long finish. Cork in great shape. Guessing 3 - 5 years for this bottle.
