shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. no formal notes. the wine proved to be in sound condition. needed some air to open up. full bodied, generous fruit, good structure, long finish. i am generally not a zin/primitivo fan but this wine is the exception. a great wine. and, of course, it evokes fond memories of having met george several times at stage left. this wine is at its peak and should continue to show well a while longer.

Still lively but energy levels are down. There is not long until this collapses.

Still as strong and vibrant as new. Shockingly little signs of aging.
