  From '05, '10, '15 vertical tasting. Excellent showing, this was easily the smoothest and most balanced of the group. Dark fruits, cassis, earth and cherries. Round, medium bodied with tannins resolved, this was well balanced and easy to drink with a short decant. Qpr +

  this is rocking right now! Dark and deep. A bit floral nose but mostly it's about the dark fruit. Long in the mouth, no hard edges. This holds nothing back. By night #2 (after refrigeration overnight) it is losing some. This is really good right now but needs to be drunk soon.

  Priced at close to $15, the wine continues paying dividends. Popped and poured, the earthy, licorice, smoke and dark cherries on the nose are just perfect. Soft, round, medium/full-bodied, with loads of earthy, tobacco-stained, red fruits on the palate, this is at peak, or slightly past peak. If you are holding on to any, I'd opt for drinking them over the next 3-4 years.

  Dark ripe wine, this will last a long time. Still quite a bit of tannin but a lot of body, power, not over ripe. Nicely done, I should have saved more but I think I only have 3 left. Will probably go another 15-20 years.

  With a nose of chocolate mint, black cherry, espresso, licorice and smoke, the wine is round, smooth and packed with spicy, coffee tinged plum and cherry notes. For the whopping release price of $17, this has to be the value wine of the vintage. Popped and poured, the wine improved in the glass for the hour or so that it lasted, before we finished it. Current vintages from the best years all seem to be at the same level, and still sell for an incredibly low price.
