  Mature nose of confected cherries with noticeable sous-bois. On the palate balsam and leather. This has hollowed out quite substantially from its peak drinking window 3-5 years ago. The mid-palate is gone and no semblance of structure left. Still very pleasant but definitely on the downslope and losing excitement fast.

  Lovely nose of dried cherries, wet leaves, strawberries, wet pasture, baking spices, flowers, a bit of barnyard, and a hint of turpentine. Red cherries, dried red cherries, earth, cranberries, citrus pith, spices, and a touch of wet wood on the palate. Tangy and round acidity, great balance, tannins fully integrated, delicious medium finish. What a terrific wine. One of the more memorable ones this year so far. Just perfect with a chicken dinner. I wish I had more.

  I opened this bottle last evening feeling the need to reward myself for having just endured a long flight back from London. But I was too lazy to write any notes. I was not disappointed a bit.
  
  A day later, finishing the bottle, here are my notes. Pale reds fading to ochre on the edges -- almost looked twice as old in terms of color but no hint of cloud or sediment. Sweet, violet aromas with a hint of light earthiness without the grit or heaviness of soil. Round, balanced and lush. I wish I had 24 more bottles at this price.

  SFwine blind and not-blind tasting at Tom's (San Francisco, CA): Aromas of rich, soft red fruits, earth, a little creamy oak. Medium bodied on the palate with lovely ripe but delicate red fruits (strawberry, cherry), earth, and a remarkably silky texture and mouthfeel. Really, this is like liquid silk, but the acidity is deceptively good. Ripe and generous, this is not a delicate style yet not slutty either. Excellent balance here, i'm very impressed.
