Sadly tonight’s bottle opened at Taj Mahal’s annual visit to Jazz Alley was corked with a fatal case of TCA. The 93 score reflects my previous experience with this gorgeous deep blend from several years back. Win some lose some.

Good. A bit bright at first but mellowed out nicely in short order to reveal dark fruit, good balance and structure. Maybe another year or several in bottle. Recommend. Would buy again.

Luscious nose from the start. Opened up fairly quickly with medium to full body, modest acid, good fruit, satisfying finish. Wish I had bought a little more.

Deep red core with a ruby rim. Black fruit on the nose, with a touch of vanilla. Not overly complex, but very deep. On the palate, this is unctuous. Full bodied, soft tannin, and low to medium acidity. The fruit begs for a bit more acidity and structure. Intriguing and lovely in a way. Should evolve nicely though the night and last in the cellar for another 10+ years.
