February 9, 2015 - Much more evolved than the last bottle which was consumed in 2010. Tannins have mellowed considerably. Was fine with being open for only 15-20 minutes. Was also great on day #2.

June 26, 2013 - Popped and poured. Lots of fun things going on in the nose....currants, eucalyptus, mocha, earth. Smooth palate. The alcohol is high, but it wasn't noticeable. I finished up the wine 2 days after opening and it was even better. More dark fruit and earth/leather on the nose. Smooth palate. Long finish of red fruit...lingers on the palate. I'd recommend a good decant based on how wonderful the wine was two days later.

June 2, 2013 - Popped and poured. Tight at first but opened up after 10 minutes or so in the glass. Aromas of currant and berries followed by fruit and a hint of pencil shavings or earth on the palate. Smooth finish. The second half of this bottle was even better on day 2. This wine is drinking very well, although it likely would benefit from some decanting.

June 27, 2010 - Tight and closed which is to be expected for this bottling from Frazier. No decant which was a big mistake. There are some nice fruit flavors in this wine but the are hiding behind the massive tannins. Decent acidity so I suspect that this will only improve with age. I will not touch the others for at least 5 years
