  This nose is completely Washington with rainwater eucalyptus, evergreen, and boysenberry. A quick glimpse of fresh Serrano pepper up front. Rich red fruit. This is really good now.

  Pretty tired. The nose was aged and pleasant, but an odd funk on the palate was detracting. The bottle was consumed, but did not impress compared to similar Andrew Will blends from 1998 and early 2000s.

  Deep dark cloudy purple with faint browning hues; sachet of dried spices, sweet cigar, smoke, old leather, indian spices--anise, cardamon, old sweet plum, cherry, cassis notes--very intense beautiful bouquet; silky elegant entry still with great intensity, soft rounded tannins still present but not harsh or drying; lovely even, balanced finish. This is spectacular and is better than many similarly aged Bordeaux I've had recently. Still in its prime and should hold another 5 years or more. Great with seasoned grass-fed beef steak.

  Opened last night to have with some brie and TV. This was rounder, richer and tastier than my last bottle. Really felt like i could pick up on the cab franc, which is a bit more than a quarter of the cepage blend. I don't believe it has any more time to get better, but it was drinking beautifully last night. Looking forward to another glass later tonight

  Bottle was well-stored since purchase at Eastside Wine Storage (Bellevue, WA) and then decanted for 30 minutes. Surprised by the fruit. Lovely nose and great color for 14 year old Washington state wine.
