  August 26, 2009 - opened this '98 in mid-August 2009 ... too late for this little wine, it just didn't have the staying power -- it was drinkable, but thin and spent, smellt turned
  cork was fine, no leaks/ crystals/ oxidation ... so don't hold onto this any longer, try it now! maybe yours will be better (my cellar conditions are not 100% ideal)

  September 30, 2003 - Medium dark maroon. Slightly reserved aromas of dark fruit. Taste is reserved with dark fruit and some oaky smoke

  January 1, 2001 - ($10) Fairly priced Merlot. Has a slightly Bordeaux-like nose. Ripe, medium-full bodied. Densely colored in the glass. Lacks some length and depth in the mouth. $10
