  February 4, 2019 - Drinking well now. Not sure there is anything left to this one. Solid, big body, lots of fruit, cherry and chocolate. Good with gamey food.

  September 14, 2018 - Very nice in the nose. Some wood chips and mature fruit, berries. This wine packs a punch with high alcohol. After letting it breath for several hours, it really came to its own.

  August 7, 2018 - Nose full of burnt wood, dried flowers, smoke, figs. Slightly syrupy texture, with tastes of dates, pepper, vanilla. Not as stewed as I had feared, since this is a 2003. Fully mature? Enjoyable, not profound, but mercifully not the hot mess I thought it might be given vintage.
  Score: 89. Relative to expectations: 0

  April 8, 2018 - Dinner with Mahesh (San Francisco): Light ruby, bricking with age; nose is moderately aromatic, mature fruit; palate is light bodied, ripe, high alcohol; short-medium finish. Too ripe. 80
