May 27, 2022 - You can see the well integrated texture that’s about to coat your palate in the bright rim. The nose is sharp and lively with sweet black fruit and rich wood. It’s lush then gripping in the mouth with black fruit, tea and mushroom. Took a couple of hours to open up and likely will hold on for a bit.

February 5, 2022 - I've been skipping over this bottle for years when rifling through the cellar looking for something to open. While I love Scott's Torrin wines, they consistently rank among my favorites from the area, it is the vintage I am not a fan of. This bottle showed in line with my expectations: Large scaled, with deep, fleshy, super-ripe fruit bordering on too sweet, smoky barrel notes, and those clunky tannins that seem to be a signature of the vintage. There's tons of meat on these bones, but the bones protrude nonetheless. My overall impression is of a massive, high-quality, fruit-forward wine that is out of balance and still disjointed 12+ years post-harvest. My last '09... so glad that's over.

September 4, 2018 - This wine is all about tannin quality at this point, big black fruits with big but softened tannins make this wine an absolute addiction. Still has a ton of life ahead of it but there was so little produced it may not matter. Will hold remaining bottle for a few years.
