7/11/2017 - kiichli wrote: NR4 hour ox. Slight alc. nose, but sour cherry and raspberry too. A touch chunky in the mouth, but I like it with the steak. There is no obtrusive oak, and the balance is very good. |

8/11/2005 - kiichli wrote: NRFull-ish St. J. nose. Good color, with slight orange rim. Lacking ripeness mid-palate. Came together more after 1/2 hr. Good with food. I think I caught this at about the right time, because it didn't taste old, but it's not going to get better. |

3/22/2008 - kiichli wrote: NRJoop brought this to the Zin evening, so we started with it. Very dry, with a reticent racy nose of fuit and a touch of mineral. Great acidity and fruit on the palate made it a refreshing starter. I'd love to try it in 5 or so. |

3/22/2008 - kiichli wrote: NRA rare treat! A bottle from the basement (not mine) that survived many moves. A1 fill. Cork was a bit of a problem, but eventually came out cleanly. Amazingly clear color with no bricking (!?). Lovely tobacco, cedar, leather on the nose, with fruit in the background. Good acidity in the mouth, with the whole classic number opening slowly. Good length, and a soft, lovely finish. |

11/9/2008 - kiichli wrote: NRMy last bottle, and still a fun wine. Modern style, but not over-done. Lots of vanilla-oak, but on the soft side. Very velvety. OTOH - a nagging feeling that the fruit is fading and bottles a year or two ago were much better |
