    March 2, 2017 - Nice smooth merlot, past its prime , some bricking

    January 26, 2016 - Leather, tobacco, blackberries, and white pepper make up the nose of the wine. Lots of tannins on the mouth. Needs a healthy lead time decanting before serving. It is surprising the wine is not more mellow, given the '05 vintage. It will be interesting to see how my two remaining bottles fare with a few more years in the cellar.

    December 20, 2015 - Wine was very full bodied and ready to be drunk. Full bodied and chewy. Could have blind tasted as a Cabernet. We enjoyed it with a steak dinner and it was very much up to the strong steak flavors. Wonderful wine.

    May 28, 2015 - Very rank smell and sour taste. Down the drain.
