  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (J&L's): Blind. Mature brick red color. Aromas of tobacco, plum and lavender. Full-bodied with soft tannin and flavors of red berry fruit, coffee, tobacco and dried herbs. Easy to pick out as our Don Melchor in this flight. WOTF for a few of the tasters.
  
  A sentimental favorite of Domino's, this was our final bottle and had been double decanted off its sediment 1.25 hours earlier. Fully mature- no reason to hold any longer.

  like new cork; some bricking; quick double-decant; lot's of sludge at the bottom. At first, rather disjointed. It started to knit together with tired dark fruit, soya sauce. Bad bottle? If not, time to drink up

  Just stunning. Still got many years ahead, but drinks very nice now. Decanted and left for 2 hours before drinking. Still opened more in the glass.

  Very dark ruby color. Decanted just before dinner. Cassis and plum, along with a hint of graphite. Main difference with the ‘06 opened first was that the tannis seemed fully integrated here, vs not quite for the younger one. Beautiful wine. Excellent paired with the pan-seared bison ribeye and roasted potatoes and squash.

  Holiday tasting (EBCC): Our penultimate bottle, double decanted off its sediment an hour before the walk around tasting began. Somewhat youthful dark color belies its age. Black fruit with herb and loam undertones. Has a subtle green quality as well. A terrific showing- opened some eyes tonight.
