A little over the hill, oxidized, but excellent length and richness, medium acid. Remains pleasant to drink. Showing better than last bottle in 2013

Bright acid, fruit, tea, bramble, hint of chalky tannin. Super tasty.

Very approachable without losing a sense of place or being overweight. Bright red fruit, tea, and spices. Good acidity, pleasant structure.

A little bit of heat when served a little warm, but chilled thereafter and was excellent.

Rich intensity flavor, like creamy roasted lemons and earthy apples, nice nuttiness.

A little too much heat

Simple and well balanced, a little on the high acid side, but not bad for it. Low expectations for this vintage and level of wine, easy to exceed. Glad I got a few bottles.

Cherry coke and coffee mix on the nose, high acid and lots of structure. Quite tasty

Corked, opened for 2 hours and started to blow off a little, though not completely gone. Will see if better tomorrow.

Strawberry soda (a little secondary fermentation), mild funk. Great Taco Tuesday pairing.

A little out of balance, alcohol and fruit more apparent than ideal, though still reasonable acidity.

From double mag, still bright and delicious. Excellent thanksgiving crowd pleaser too.

Haven’t had one of these in a few years, barely moving along the aging curve in 7-8 years. A little lower acid than the absolute ideal, but long length, petrol, citrus and mineral.

Agree with Putnam, this is killer. Red fruit with something more, crunchy.

Just delicious violet and fruit

Closed down the first night, but really opening up on night two. Hints at complexity, but balance is the main strength here.

Acid and tanin well balanced, pleasant dark fruit

Reduced at first, but blew off. A little low acid, but not flabby. Manages a little weight pretty well with nice citrus feel.

Third day open, this really got going. Lemon curd and mineral with a little rustic tropical bend.

Solid aged Nebbiolo, nice red dusty fruit and delicate tannins. Good length

Always a favorite (the 2007 was a gateway wine for me). Kitty litter, bright red fruit, high acid. So enjoyable

Pretty rustic/could be more precise, good acidity and balance though.

Day two much better, fruit coming through a little more, though now the acid seems a little less

Medium acid, but a little out of balance, abv 14.5 stands out a little

A little more funk than expected, but that blew off after 20 minutes. Easy drinking

Approachable, but plenty of potential. Didn’t get to try as much as I would have liked, this was killed quickly by the table.
