Opened a bottle and it was bad. Not corked, just bad. These have been cellared in my cellar straight from the winery. Opened a second bottle which was very different and quite drinkable, but very underwhelming. Decent weight but yet not much flavor and uninteresting. Other ‘09 from Washington are drinking much better at this point.

My last one. Enjoying it while watching the Super Bowl and eating snacks and ribs. About the same as prior bottles several years ago. No reason to hold it any longer. I may post again tomorrow when I finish it. Or not.

Well structured, tobacco, leather notes with a wonderful medium finish and legs for days. This has aged so well and while it will not improve, it still has a few years left.

A bit underwhelming. PnP and probably should have decanted.

Good first night, but didn't get better over the next couple of nights under pump. Had to wait for 4th night to finish and by then was kind of pruny.
