  July 20, 2015 - delicious. dark, dark purple, with no visual signs of age. smells of vanilla and blackberry. smooth mouthfeel and long finish, with lot's of dark fruit, oaky vanilla, some minerality and a touch of sweetness. drink now but no rush.

  May 11, 2012 - Still dark, but starting to show sings of age. Great nose of dark fruit, cedar and a whiff of vanilla and licorice. On the palate it's quite lively and interesting. Good balance of oak/cedar, vanilla and dark fruits. Blackberry, cherry and spices play well with the acid and tannins. The finish is a bit chewy with the tannins gripping on for one last fight with your tongue. I like this one.

  May 24, 2011 - This has aged very well. Amazing color after over 10 years in the boittle. Opaque purple color, like it was just released. It was like drinking bluberry extract. Still had structure to last a few more years in the cellar.
  I wish I had more.
