December 25, 2020 - The surprise of the day. After two hour decant lots of dark fruit, acid and tannins. Better than last bottle. Extremely drinkable right now.

January 7, 2009 - I found 3 bottles - just opened and smell is still very strong of black cherry. Color is very dark and has great legs. I will see if it tastes better, and if it can still open?. It got lost in locker and may be to late.

October 6, 2007 - After decanting, a nice but not opulent nose revealed some spice and violet notes.
Not as much fruit as I was hoping, perhaps this bottle had reached it peak and was descending.
Still high in alcohol though. A brief but nice finish...Overrated? -

July 29, 2006 - Unbelievable. This wine has legs. It held up very well to the last drop. Serious gravitas, if a wine is capable of such. Velvet smooth with secondary charateristics worthy of the snobbiest oenophile. We are searching for more. Is it better than the Chateau St Jean reserve Merlot?
