January 25, 2011 - No decant, took about 20 mins to open up in the glass. Very nice, wish I had more.

April 24, 2009 - California tasting with the "No Name" wine club in Copenhagen. (Kenneths place): Nose: Black pepper with hints of vanilla. Blackberry fruit and the alcohol is also coming through.
Palate: Creamy with hints of minerals. Huge tannins and good acidity with the alcohol coming through a bit to much. Slightly oxidated aftertaste.
Actually an ok wine but the wine was kind of weak but very drinkable due to the good acidity. -

June 7, 2008 - Grenache Tasting (Brentwood, CA): Vivid notes of sweet raspberry coulee, cherries, and herbs. Firm acidic spine bodes well for further aging.
