April 23, 2019 - Past it's prime. Ullo filtered, Let breathe in carafe about 4 hours, pretty smooth but dry. Left in carafe overnight. Next day was a lot smoother, pleasant. 3rd night had to dump. Not bad though, glad I decided to try after storing for 13 years.

January 17, 2013 - A nice balance of meat and olives vs bright red fruit and notes of cedar. The combination provides very nice complexity. Medium to medium heavy in body, but without the kind of uber-oak that mars some. Above average finish length and depth.
