  Day 2 - deep blackberry, boysenberry, vanilla essence and hint-of-cherry aromas followed by exceptional balance, silky mouthfeel and long weightless finish. Taste memory of a warm vintage Left Bank 3rd growth. Regrettably, last bottle in the cellar - I clearly drank these too soon.

  Beautiful wine at the 20-year mark. Up front blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum fruit profile. Mid-palate notes of cocoa, spice, licorice, minerals, and toasty oak. Nice acidity still, smooth tannins, and nice long finish. So good now, but no rush.

  Took to a Christmas dinner party, so no detailed notes. 2007 Quilceda Creek was WOTN, but the Etude held up just fine.

  Great bottle of wine as part of an aged wine dinner with a variety of different bottles this one was in the middle of the pack and still have a great body and some complexity repaired this one with some vegetable courses, and it held up extremely well.

  This really exceeded my expectations. No formal notes, but it was delightful. The fruits, and acid, are well balanced.
