Powerful tannin and acidity, drinking well and still has lots of life left. Hold for another five years.

On the oakier side, fruit not subtle, but not overwhelming. My kind of chardonnay, so I really enjoyed this.

Nose of tobacco, rose, raspberry. Tastes of dark fruit, leather, cherry came through after being open for about an hour. The tannins are light, but this is not a light pinot. Agreed with other tasters that the acidity is still a bit much; we'll be waiting a bit to open the next bottle but there's a lot to look forward to here.

Nice leathery, woody nose, opened up to reveal dark fruit after an hour. Very enjoyable.

Pretty nice, leathery nose. Slight cherry up front, but short on fruit. Slight tannins, not overpowering. Fairly weak finish. Overall, decent but not as remarkable as I had expected from producer. Probably missed the boat on this one.
