April 19, 2015 - Similar to my previous notes 2years ago, but this bottle showed a simpler palate and more drying tannins on the finish. Not bad, but not as interesting as the 1999.

October 18, 2013 - Red fruit, herbs, earth, tobacco. Medium body, with few tannins remaining. needed a few minutes to bloom but I was surprised how good this was for a 2000. Nice fusion of French and CA stylistically. A solid buy for a mature cab blend at current prices around $50.

October 1, 2013 - Dense ruby purple, urgent nose of blackberry and cedar, nice quality of fine tannins only a bit too much for the core.

October 2, 2011 - Completing the bottle I opened and opined on last PM I am finding more depth and liveliness than I expected. Usually an alcoholic fruitbomb fades to an ugly skeleton the following day but this wine retains fresh red fruit and now w/ some menthol and fine astringent tannins to carry it forward. I'll be in no rush to drink the rest.

October 1, 2011 - Dark ruby to the edge; fresh clean sweet effusive nose of fresh red and blue fruits w/ a wisp of floral aromas; alcohol at 14.1 buoys the aromas/flavors on the palate rather than tannic structure or crisp acidity. Drinking well right now but I perceive a short drinking plateau while the alcohol-drenched fruit remains fresh.
