  November 20, 2019 - over 12 years since the last bottle I drank and remember this having a much better in 2007. Nothing doing on the nose, solid black fruits throughout the palate and a moderate finish, but not very complex. Drink up if you still have them, as they are getting simpler, not more complex.

  February 6, 2010 - Very happy that I found petit verdot as a varietal. Verry soft flavors of red fruits and cranberries. Easy drinking and great with food.

  September 1, 2008 - In glass an hour and a half. Beautiful aromas of crushed cherries, graphite, violets, and a stewed dark fruit component that wasn't there a year ago. Rich, full bodied, and creamy in the mouth, showing lots of dark fruit (figs, dates, etc). Finishes with the same fruits, gravel powder, and somehow leaves my mouth feeling like it had a gel in it. This is much toned down from a year ago, and not quite as exuberant nor enjoyable. Definitely on the mature side of things for this bottling, showing no tannins. Drink up.
