March 16, 2019 - Cannot believe it's been over a decade since I first had this off the Bern's list. This bottle was an auction buy so couldn't have enjoyed quite so perfect a storage history, but it must have been kept in pretty good conditions because it is still in great shape. Color is bricked around the edges but still has a ruby core. It starts out on the light side with scents of sagebrush and mint, but given time to air out it puts on weight and ratchets up the fruit intensity (and it does still have fruit), which thickens and sweetens it up enough to drown out the green. Structure is completely melted away and it's slick as butter. This doesn't have the site-distinctive personality it had ten years ago but it has an age-defying boldness that makes it more than just anonymous old burgundy.

September 20, 2008 - Wines with Steak; 9/19/2008-9/20/2008: Aroma of crushed stones, with a corresponding minerality and granularity on the palate, but with a sweetness to it that turns plump and almost syrupy in its intensity as soon as the fruit asserts itself. And there's a wonderful vibrancy and freshness to the fruit - this is just pristine.
