    February 11, 2014 - Purple/brown color. Blackberry, chocolate, tar. Medium/long finish. Needs over an hour to open (after decanting). Still has a lot of fruit for a 13 year-old wine. Paired nicely with grilled vegetables and grilled swordfish.

    April 6, 2008 - Popped the cork, very little on the nose, overly acidic with poor structure. Night number two , I decanted for 3 hours. If you swirled it enough in the decanter you will notice a lot of berry on the nose, but drinking it wasn't anything thrilling though slightly jammy. Mouth feel did improve but it took a lot of effort.

    December 11, 2007 - Sour fruit, highly acidic, and oak that rode the edge of the wine that had never integrated with the fruit. No finish and no tannin structure.
