  March 8, 2024 - Open in the bottle for about three hours. Nose is quite poopy at first but eventually that blows off to reveal…not much. A little smoke, some mushrooms, generally very earthy. Palate is nice, initially full with some ripe plums and black cherry cola. The mid-palate has some nice umami notes, sautéed mushrooms and a hint of roasted tomatoes but the finish is more like a cherry pit and plum skins, a little thin and bitter, which is less than ideal for me. Hard to tell what the story here is. Maybe I’ll wait a while on my next bottle in hopes that it’s just in a weird spot now but I’m not holding my breath.

  October 9, 2016 - So the first 1/2 bottle I drank over an hour after about 30 mins of air....tart, out of balance tar mixed with stewed cherries and beef bullion. Refrigerated other half for 24 hours in a vacuum pumped 375 ml bottle. Let the 2nd half breathe for an hour...nose of cherries and spice...color darker and deeper....dusty Lingrin cherries followed by raspberries....dust, tea, spice....nice tart acids now in check. I think this could have aged 10 more years!

  September 25, 2015 - 2004 was the clear winner in our vertical tasting. This one came up a bit thin.
