October 31, 2012 - Pw/3 hour decant. Deep purple color w/minor fine sediments. Proper Cab nose. This wine is drinking beutifully. Med body/weight, ideal balance, clean, nice fruit, med finish. Perfect drinking window, nothing off.

February 19, 2010 - Very strong berry nose, with hints of vanilla. Very dark colour. Decanted for a half hour before drinking. There were not very many tannins. Early in the evening,there was pleasant berry flavour, with a hint of vanilla, but as the night wore on a bit of unpleasant alcoholic heat started to creep in. Not as good as I was hoping.
