November 9, 2015 - Still drinking fine but has lost a little of its former self. Not very oxidized, light supple tannins and fruit.
November 21, 2009 - decanted 2 hrs. Nice bright cherry and berry fruit balanced by well integrated tannins make this left banker a sure bet to drink up now. Well balanced medium finish earns extra points for this average vintage. One left to go....be sure to decant.
December 28, 2007 - Forget what I said about prior bottles. Must have been funky tasting days. Decanted and drank right away. Beautiful bouquet of cherries. Well balanced front end with a hint of cedar and aromatics. Mid palate and finish of red fruits. Fine integrated tannins that don't get in the way of the delicate fruits make for a good finish lasting about 30 sec.
August 19, 2007 - Starting to lose it. Drink up before year's end
April 9, 2007 - Prior bottle, in retrospect, was probably corked. This bottle had a bright cherry/raspberry front end, with balanced tannins and a pleasing but short finish. A very good table wine overall.
April 5, 2007 - Thin and alcoholic. Wine was tight upon opening, and never developed much in the glass. A hint of sour cherry fruit that dissipated into a unidimensional background of oak kissed by a grassy overtone. Maybe just a bad bottle, I hope so because I have 9 more. In retrospect, probably corked, the next bottle was far better.
