February 14, 2017 - Past it's prime but still enjoyable. Some cherry and oak, silky mouth feel.

March 1, 2009 - Earthy with a hint of menthol up front. Opens up into some subtle stone fruits with a hint of chocolate on the finish.

May 13, 2006 - I enjoyed this a lot, although I do think it's on the way down. It has some fruit left, and is more tannic than one would hope, but it really tastes more like a 20 year old Bordeaux than I would have expected, which I enjoyed.
