  April 28, 2022 - This ended up being a pleasant surprise tonight; enjoyed with leftover, roasted, boneless leg of lamb. Shows pronounced aromatics and a complex flavor profile: dried red flowers; eucalyptus and mint; spicy red currant, dried cherries, ripe plums; old shoe leather and powdered cocoa; gravel mixed with red earth, red iron ore. Structure is mostly integrated with lingering tannin. Early stages of maturity, unlikely to improve with further cellaring, but also has another 4-5 years left in its drinking window.

  December 30, 2020 - This '06 is drinking extremely well right now and went incredibly well with our leftover prime rib seared on the grill. The mid-palate dominates with a big dose of leather. The medium tannic dry finish is tasty and smooth, just a little short.
