Nice aroma of floral & berry notes. Dark fruit flavors with fine tannins. Turns a bit sour on the finish.
Did not decant but did pour through an aerator. If you still have this puppy, be sure to upright it at least 4-5 hours before opening to let the sediment settle.
Drink by late 2015.

Still drinking great. But not as interesting as before for some reason. Of course it as been four years.

Quite a bit of sediment. Decanted for an hour. Solid but not mind-blowing. Prefer the Seghesio Zin and pinot noir I've had recently.

Still a lot of tanin. I am not sure it will improve with more cellar time. Open it early, at least 3 hours before.

Soft nose, dark purple color, smooth tannins and decent finish. But somewhat lacking in complexity and balance.
