  January 2, 2014 - Fabulous, so much better as it continued to open. Could go several more years.

  September 2, 2007 - Loads of fruit up front that coated the mouth. Still l with enough grip to make it last for another 5 years or so.

  August 2, 2006 - This was our second bottle. LC poured this blind to me, and I had no clue what it was. I thought it might be an over-ripe Bordeaux or Cab. It was served somewhat cold, so I think it showed very badly at first. As the wine warmed, it was better, but I don't think it was excellent by any means. I still think there was some over-ripe/stewed character. On the other hand, we drained the bottle (served with spaghetti and meatballs!).

  July 5, 2005 - Rhone & Spain Dinner: Blind 8 - Evergreen/pine fresh resin and spice on the nose. Sweet attack. Medium-full bodied. Plush. Okay. Not hitting on all cylinders for me.
