I always have had high, high hopes for this wine... and maybe those high hopes peaked about two years ago? Still vibrant and juicy and elegant, just wish it had a touch more weight. In any case, I think the freshmen "15" years are gone and this is where it remains. Drink up.

Has not filled in on the mid-palate like I expected and hoped. However, on the mid palate day two its richer and more expressive. I think it is still coming up.

Still quite sound but time to serve. Last bottle in cellar.

Still has that spicy note mixed with touches of under ripe red fruit. Just opened. We shall see.

Coming up and into itself. Bright spicy fruit. Man I like this wine and I don't exactly know why.
