  Agree with others that this is still in good shape. A bit of sweet oak, cherry pie, and a slight menthol or green bell pepper note. Solid and ageworthy, but not spectacular.

  Strong color, no bricking. Almost no sediment. Took over an hour to start to balance out. Initially green peppers and veggies overwhelmed, then menthol, and finally black fruits with some sweet Oak. About 90 minutes later, these came around with good proportionality. Smooth wine. No rush to drink.

  PnP and served with pecan smoked Flannery ribeyes. Bright red cherry, Luden cough drop, dark acidic berries,damp pine forest floor, sautéed mushrooms, more earth than fruit, but a nice balance nevertheless. Actually improved a couple of point putting on more body after 45 min with eucalyptus, a lovely red candy and black licorice note complimentary to everything else. They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. A nice bottle to celebrate the emptying of the nest!

  Decanted 60 minutes; teaspoon of fine sediment. Plenty of overripe blackberries and black cherries on palate; hints of black raspberries; sweet Oak and some cedar with dried herbs. Very smooth but tannins still had some backbone to them. Color was strong. This bottle had another 3 to 6 years at peak drinking window. An extra point for its ageworthiness, especially at this price point, but I took that point back because, although the alcohol was listed at 13.8, it hit us like a ton of bricks long before we finished the bottle. No alcohol on the nose or palate to speak of but it went to our heads faster than a 16% alcohol Zin.

  A wonderful bottle that was still about 4+ years from being outside of its ideal drinking window. Rich color to core although a little bricking at rim. Very little sediment. Some eucalyptus to go with the blackberries and black cherries. Sweet Oak with hints of vanilla. A few dried herbs 20+ second finish. Very smooth.
