May 31, 2021 - After opening a corked 2000 Lafon Rocket, this was my back up for Memorial Day with ribs (which my partner burnt). Just slight bricking on my bottle compared to what others wrote. Nose of leather and dried cherries. Which follows on the palate with more dried fruit (I got cranberries?!?). Slightly acetic but not that far gone at all. Obviously a bit over the hill slightly but still drinking OK.

June 30, 2016 - The color is getting pretty brown. Dried cherries and roses on the nose. Intriguing aromatics. The palate is lovely although it seems fragile. The fruit is starting to dry out and the tannins are still very present. Nice leathery elements. Balsamic notes that increased with air. For some reason this is the first time I have opened a bottle of this and will drink my last bottle soon.

February 12, 2016 - Slight brownish hue around edges. Wonderful complex nose of earth, mushroom and dark cherry. Smooth with reduced tannins. Did not decant this time, just opened bottle for about an hour before serving and the wine showed better.
