December 20, 2014 - not much fruit left. Still drinkable, but past its prime for sure.

September 23, 2012 - I nice bottle of wine to go with grilled rib-eye steak. Also, I will keep the empty bottle near the back door to ward off intruders, as it weighs a ton. This wine is much like the 2004 LAN in that regard. No hurry to drink the last bottle cuz this has a lot of life ahead of it.

March 7, 2011 - Nice earthiness along with candied cherry and a hint of dark bitter chocolate. Not bad but I expected more from this offering.
