  March 16, 2024 - A 65th Birthday Celebration (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Small glass. Charming and complex aromas with mature fruit and savory spice that doesn't fully re-emerge in the flavors. Also complex, but more mature and nearly hollow.

  March 2, 2019 - Gosh, this was damn good. Audozed for one hour. Mostly tertiaries (esp. old leather, old cigar box, dried leaves), with fruit buried deep in the background. After two hrs open, black fruit and esp. cassis surfaced and made this a bit more generous and plump. Incredible balance. Tannins incredibly fine, almost powdery. Beautiful acidity. Zero obtrusiveness of oak or of alcohol. Label indicates only 12.5pct ABV. What a delight! Old Napa Cab - why did CA change its ways? I could drink this all the time.

  November 28, 2017 - Mild funk blew off with some aeration. Surprising berry and black fruit that seemed fresh. Tannins softened but some pleasant pepper and mushroom on the finish. Most interesting that this is still drinking so well.

  March 10, 2011 - Earthy, dirty, and fun.
  Masculine characters on nose and finish
  Smoky and mushroom were consistent themes
  A hint of black fruit on the finish....
