  Recent auction purchase.
  Tasted like toasted oak soup. Not sure if the bottle was bad or not, but the oak was just too overpowering and harsh. Not a fan of this style, if this indeed, was a representative sample. Yuck. There are some older notes that allude to heavy oak, so I wouldn't be surprised if this bottle was sound. Won't really score this, but if I did it would be under 70 for sure.

  Screaming awesome. Can totally see why Harlan bought this vineyard. Incredible cedar, cassis, cherry liquor, minty herbal notes, silky long finish, such a Bordeaux feel, seems perfect right now. Wow.

  Ruby, still holding its color, a dark pink on the edge. Medium body. Good acid. Notes of cigar & pencil lead. Black fruits & clove on the palate. Good length on the finish - it's held up pretty well.

  Opened 4 hours before dinner but not decanted. Deep purple color. This was still a full bodied wine wth edgy tannins. Dark fruit profile with mineral notes. It has rounded out since I last had it in 2008. 93 points.

  Courtesy of VM, this showed plenty of wood and cassis and not much else. Big and monolithic, with gritty tannins that need more time to integrate.
