  June 14, 2014 - Polished. Dark blue tones with occasional rustic Syrah hints. Still could go a couple more years.

  December 16, 2013 - Gave a few hours in the decanter. Dark purple black int he glass. Nose is fully of black berries, meaty spice, light eucalyptus and some violets. On the palate comes chocolate, grape lifesavers, and more spice. Full in the mouth with strong yet balanced tannin. Dark toned fruit on the finish, buttery going down. PJG: 92

  October 9, 2012 - Dark red/garnet, slightly opaque. 14.5% abv. Tannins have smoothed out, with a balanced attack, and fresh mid-palate. Somewhat restrained personality (not a fruit bomb), but concentrated and deep, with satisfying black fruit flavors. At or near its peak, should hold 4-5 years. Much better than previous 3 bottles.

  September 18, 2011 - Blind Wines and football (Phil's place, Chicago IL): nose: upfront and forward nose of black fruits, blue fruits, spice tones and blueberry pie tones. Balanced, but lacking some depth
  
  taste: full bodied with good supporting tannins and medium acidity and plump tones of blue fruits, spice tones, dark red cherries and blueberry pie tones
  
  overall: this did come off as a cali syrah blind. On the forward side but balanced with the fruit. This seemed like it could basically just use a 2 hour decant at this point
