Wonderful drink! Deep opaque garnet color. Fruitiness and tannins starting to fade but lush and layered flavors still there. Some spice and almost chalkiness came through, obviously the minerals from the creek. Took a good 1/2 hour in the decanter to fully open. Very enjoyable finish. Agree with some recent comments that the wine probably is peaking and shouldn't be cellared a lot longer. Why wait?!

deep ruby color, nice balance, developed oak flavor with a hint of forest floor, cherry, slight heat though hardly noticeable. Secondary's are taking over as fruit has subsided, probably at or near it's peak, but the beautify balance will keep it going for several more years. Will drink last bottle in 2-3 years.

Over the hill but yet reminded me of a good old left bank
