  December 9, 2022 - Excellent teenaged wine in all respects. Plenty of power but lots of acidity and well developed secondary notes. Seemed to want to shut down a touch toward the end of the bottle was the only knock on it.

  January 15, 2011 - Poured and let sit in glasses for ~1 hour. Nose of blackberry and slight dust. On the palate there were flavors of sour cherry and tobacco with smooth tannins and a lasting finish. There's a bit of heat on the finish perhaps a bit too much for the fruit. This one is drinking well now, and is balanced enough to keep aging well.
