November 13, 2007 - Wow - amazing. Still flavorful and the tannins are there - not opening the last one for another couple (2ish) of years.

August 4, 2002 - Quick Trip to Napa and Sonoma; 8/3/2002-8/4/2002 (Napa and Sonoma): Tasting at winery. Black cherry and black currant with a meaty character. Dense fruits and firm tannins will benefit from another couple of years in bottle.
