This is the first of 5 bottles. Very fragrant nose of dark fruit and chocolate. Smoooooooth! Very complex flavors of blackberry, espresso, pencil shavings, tar, and pulverized stone that support each other without any one overpowering the others. Medium bodied. Delicious. Drinking well. I'm not sure that this will continue to develop much more.

I thought this was an enjoyable wine. I remember liking it much better when I had it the first time at a Fort Mason tasting. It improved significantly as it was opening up. I'd say it's got some good life left in it. I have no idea what Laube was talking about with his review.

Contrary to drinking dates noted on Cellar Tracker, this wine still showing well. Black fruit, vanilla and acidity on the palate.
