July 1, 2023 - Similar to prior notes after double decanting for 2 hrs; outstanding, it has entered prime drinking, drink or hold, no rush. Had it with the 09 Shafer HS & although both were equally outstanding, they were different on both nose & palate

December 25, 2022 - The fill was into the neck and the cork was sound; popped, poured and consumed over the following hour with dinner. Medium purple core, turning towards deep garnet at the rim. Notes of blackberry liquor, cassis, black cherry, and dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied, with a lush texture, ripe and chewy tannins, and a long and heady finish.

June 12, 2022 - Surprisingly ripe for 2010. Tons of black fruits with good acidity and ripe tannins. Some raisin aromas mixed in but quite youthful overall. Check back in 5 years

April 3, 2022 - continuing to improve, lush and yummy. I'll give it another 6-12 months and it should continue to improve.

December 25, 2021 - An elegant wine, smooth but simple. Decanted for 2 hours and consumed over the next two. On the sweet side, with some cinnamon notes. I had a bottle of the 2009 within the last year and this does not compare.
