  Its been 5 years since last bottle, good excuse to check in on it. PnP, drank over 90 minutes w Val and Charlotte....
  
  Medium garnet color. Nose of dark fruits, cherry, spices, smoke. Palate of dark cherry, currant, plum. Red fruit and cola(?) through mid palate. Tannins smoothed. Medium/full body and long finish.
  
  Did not require a decant but fair amount of sediment at the end... In a good spot now, not going to improve from here (IMO). Has smotthed/mellowed from memory. Good stuff would drink up

  Plum, cherries, leather, and smoke make3 up the nose of this meritage. The tannings are bold and lasting on the finish. The wine is very smooth and refined. Super! This is the first of several bottles that II have purchased and I look forward to drinking the other bottles! Very good.

  At or near its peak. Great balance and complexity. Cherries, cola, maybe plum and polished tannins. Great paring with beef stew during a blizzard here! Great finish. I liked this wine 2 years ago but it has clearly progressed.

  Still too young at 10 years. Lots of grip/tannin. Fruit is getting under control now and if the tannins mellow from here on this could be really great. Try it again in 5-10.
