Just opened. Cloves and gooseberry on the nose, some barnyard. Dark berry flavors. Drinks well, but need to breathe. Nice legs and dard red.

This is still quite young, I was impatient waiting for it to open. Pretty tight still. Dark cherry and leather on the nose. Tobacco, gooseberry, and leather. Long finish and legs. Be patient, wait a few years. Potential to be great.

Past its prime! Not great, but drinkable,...but barely.

4/20/19, 6:25 AM - It was cellared for several years. Although my cellar temp is not ideal (slightly high), I have not had issues with any other wines. In fact, I recently had a 1982 California Zin that based on iits projected drinking age, should have been way past its drinking age, but was in great shape. Hopefully my '06 Jordan was an individual issue and that your bottles are great.

I had bought this at an auction as a mixed case. Never cared to try this, but finally realized it was way past its drinking age so I figured I open it. What a surprise! Just opened, couldn't wait:
Dark ruby colored, with medium legs. Still has good fruit, mostly gooseberry on the nose.
The body is medium and has a smooth texture. The wine finishes medium and has good acidity.

12/3/17, 4:28 PM - Day two - had "cork it" and refridgerated it.

The wine is still very good. Still plenty of color and fruit left. I am amazed that this held up this well, especially since I had written it off prior to opening the bottle. Gooseberry on the nose, dry on the palate with plenty acidity, medium finish.
