December 14, 2008 - almost too late, drink now. Served at xmas party with a varriety of foods, beef, pasta,soft well received. Light fruit, nicely rounded.
October 16, 2008 - Drink this now...
February 4, 2008 - Always nice. Mellow flavors of blueberries and dark chocolate.
May 28, 2007 - May have outlived it's time. My recollection of this vintage didn't quite live up to the expectation. A big, bold nose of leather and tobacco gave way to a disappointingly thin flavor profile.
October 18, 2006 - I'm glad I waited to drink it.
May 31, 2006 - Simple but a real pleasure to drink with BBQ. Opened 4 bottles. Last note I wrote that these may be in decline. I take it back these bottles were all wonderful. What a great QPR.
January 23, 2006 - This remains an easy drinking, balanced, and enjoyable wine. This most recent bottle was less exuberent than its departed siblings, but I dectected no obvious faults. Is it profound? No. Will is last for 40 years? No. Is it an example of the steady increase in the quality of wine and one of the best QPRs in the last four years? Absolutely!
January 17, 2006 - Much of this wine's fruit, evident a couple of years ago, were gone when we drank it. It was still pretty tannic, though. Not terrible, but not good either.
September 23, 2005 - Last bottle, as it should be. Mello and pleasent. Not going to be any better. Fruit still there but fading.
June 26, 2005 - Welch's grape juice. For the price this has been a great wine. May be on the decline.
