October 7, 2013 - Still surprisingly youthful. Lots of red fruit still on the nose and a long finish. Keeping the other bottle for a few more years.

May 25, 2008 - Purple, plum, dark cherry in color. Some early fruit on nose, followed by hints of forest wood, leather, mushroom and earth. Balanced with medium body, but a bit on the light side. Probably will cellar well for several more years, but is drinking nicely now.Medium finish. Spousal unit gives it an 88....I put it somewhat lower at 86. We settled for an 87. A very pleasant wine....it's a bordeaux blend, but it is NOT a Boredeaux.
