February 2, 2015 - PnP w/15 glass time. Clear w/very fine and small amount of sediment. Deep purple/red color, no fading/bricking. Nice big nose of blue/black fruit. Surprising power even after 11 years, still plenty of tannins, good fruit, not fading in the least. Long finish of med tannins. Drink now thru 2018. Great value CA claret. Marc's bottle.

May 28, 2014 - This is what 6 years will do for the patient wine drinker. Wonderfully clear garnet coloring as it poured into the decanter. Immediate nose of black fruit with hints of cedar, slight tobacco. Smooth and elegant, tannins balanced nicely with a decent amount of complexity across the palate. Let sit 40+ minutes before pouring the first glass.

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Mushroom, and Forest floor. -

June 8, 2013 - Still big cabernet fruit. Tannins have mellowed significantly. Enjoyed with a prime filet - excellent wine.
