Drinking great now. Sweet red berry fruit. Wood is nicely integrated into the wine. Has evolved nicely. Rich, smooth and round mouth feel. Could easily age and improve, but just a great bottle to drink now. I really can't justify the release price of $150, but excluding the price, it's a great bottle of wine.

Very good bottle of wine. Tannins have muted quite a bit. Taste was a mixture of cedar, leather, and tobacco. Finish was not as long as when younger. The problem was this wine did not evolve over the course of the meal. Drink now. Still has many years ahead of it, but probably won't evolve much anymore.

Fantastic bottle of wine with lots of time left. Reminded me of a rich classic Bordeaux. The style was right up my ally. Still felt like a young wine with lots of life ahead of it. This is a wine that I would love to acquire and have more of it around, and so I shall.

Agree with previous post. Highly tannic which settled down after an hour. Lacking fruit and containing mostly leather and slight tobacco wi a disappointingly short finish. Not a deep wine.

Very tasty and interesting. More red than blue Cabernet fruit. Leather, menthol, hints of tar and anise. Nice acidity.
