August 31, 2013 - I picked up a case of 2003 on sale at their store in Healdsburg (I think) about - 12 months ago. Still drinking the '03 and it tastes great. Yes, it's near the back end, but this wine already has an old vine taste, so a bit more concentration of flavor works out fine. I am trying to finish it off ASAP, but I've been pleasantly surprised at how it held up. It even lasts a day with wine pump.

December 2, 2006 - Started out a little vegetal both on the nose and palate but came around after an hour or so. Better on the 2nd day with my grilled steak.
