  Served in my wine course (gift from A&D). Nose of oak and blackberry, which continues through to the medium to full bodied mouth. A bit of heat on the finish.

  This vintage has fallen off, still good but not exceptional. Fruit and backbone both waning. Still one of my favorite wineries.

  Deep garnet color in the glass.
  
  This wine was singing! On the nose, very complex. Leather and chocolate notes, with accents of black cherries and raspberries coming in, along with hints of brown spices and some minerality.
  
  Incredibly balanced with a long finish. Dry with medium plus body and tannins with the right amount of acidity. Decanted for two hours before drinking. Looking forward to seeing how this tastes on day 2.

  A little disappointing- maybe this it just bottle variance... Med-full aroma, loads of sweet black cherry, saccharin on the nose and in the mouth. Simple. Mouth feel is somewhat crunchy, loads of oak, but tannins seem undermined by what feels like a thinning body. Med+ acid, med- tannin, full body, lower glycol feel/richness, lacking. Other bottles have to be showing better, again, chalking this off to a bad/off bottle, it happens... just sucks when it's a bottle you've been sitting on for a decade...
