July 15, 2009 - Doesn't quite compare with the 2006, although there is still some fruit here; heavier on the spices, with some sweet spice, mostly nutmeg and paprika for me; not the same length as the 2006, but definitely a drinkable wine.

November 3, 2008 - Tried alone and with slow cooked beef and vegetables with a red wine reduction.
On the nose this has crisp grass, barnyard, and floral notes, on the tongue this stays true - with more of a floral influence and more heat than I would have preferred. Will give it a few nights in the cellar and revise, and I'll try again in the next year.
