  June 16, 2019 - Still showed surprisingly young for its age. This could go on for several more years easily.

  August 19, 2015 - This is the sixth vintage of this label we've tried and the oldest at time of drinking, and our first taste of this year. Hence, the advanced age may be a determinant of its tasting profile as much as the vintage characteristics. I sense this is at its apex but nearing the end of its prime drinking window.
  
  Only 130 cases were produced of this vintage release. This was not as complex, smooth or polished as the last bottle we had in late spring which was from the 2004 vintage.
  
  Dark blackish garnet colored, full bodied, thick chewy concentrated complex super ripe black and blue berry fruits predominate with tones of cassis, leather and smoky oak. Bright acidity with full textured mouthfeel tannins on the lingering tangy finish.

  March 13, 2010 - Liked this slightly better than the last bottle. Plums, along with mocha and a little cedar, both on the nose and on the palate. Great, rich texture. Still not terribly complex, but the finish this time was more-than-adequate.

  August 22, 2009 - Plums on the nose and on the palate, along with a trace of mocha. Full-bodied, with a plush texture. Tannins have subsided, and it's pretty well balanced, BUT it was a little one-dimensional, and it had a surprisingly abrupt finish. Still has plenty of fruit, but not enough tannin or acid to last much more than another year or so.
