  February 27, 2016 - Decanted and tasted at 0, 30 and 60 mins; I actually think it was at its best at opening, c/w the drink by dates suggesting it was over the hill a little bit.
  Very slight bricking, modest sediment; nose is pencil lead, maybe a little leather, hint of plum; palate is well balanced, mild tannins, nice mouth feel; finish is pleasant but unremarkable; I would recommend drinking whatever you have now; I don't believe this is going to get better from here

  January 13, 2012 - The color was solid, no noticeable bricking. Cherry on the nose, with some dust and cocoa. This wine was a surprise: tannins resolved, acidity in check, paired well with a turkey meatloaf. Not a bruiser but not dead to the world, either. Last bottle.

  January 24, 2003 - Seattle Tasting Group 1997 and older California Meritage (Sammamish, WA, USA): Coffee, cocoa puffs (yes, sweet and crunchy like the cereal), and black fruit on the nose. Lovely fruit and solid tannins, nice grip on the palate.
