A fine bottle that is aging nicely. Wish I had more of this. What a great deal for the money! Heady, rich, and full of dark cherry, mocha, and a hint of eucalyptus. A nice earthy nose. Tannins are softer than a few years ago, giving this more elegance than previously, and more elegance than I anticipated a few years back.

Delicious. Initially lots of black fruit and tannins. W/ a little bit of air and some BBQ chicken, also notes of tar on the finish. Drinking great now; very yummy.

Plenty of oak, but well-integrated with lot of black fruit and some green pepper.

drank @ Princeton. This was terrific. Wish we had more. Super buy for $20/bottle
(at the time).
