  Fully mature, a little burnt and funky. Still a bit enjoyable. Props for hanging in there so long.

  Bouquet could be better developed at 7 years and fruit is a little faded but still has the great flavors of earlier years. Would like a longer finish.

  - Ruby color - This is drinking now. It has lost some of its fruit since I tried the same bottle last year.

  Beautifully mature at 6 years. Bouquet nicely developed. Well balanced with fruit still very evident. Good finish.

  This might have been the best bottle yet. Nose that is absolutely burgundian in style with dark fruits, earth, spice and a pleasant dose of barnyard. Totally smooth and balanced on the palate with a medium +, fruity finish. Lots of dark fruit, but not really rich or ripe and definitely not a typical California fruit-bomb. I really like this wine for its great nose, big, dark flavor and smooth, lean texture. 92-93
