  July 6, 2019 - Hard to believe I last enjoyed this over six years ago. Still a very vibrant, deep ruby color, medium plus body. Pronounced, complex and mature aromas and flavors of week old, cut red flowers; red currant; dried raspberry; stewed cherry; ground nutmeg; powdered cocoa; worn shoe leather, dried, cedar plank and some graphite minerality. Tannin and acidity are still noticeable, but all components are in balance; this can still handle a hearty cut of beef. Very long, dry finish. Although this is unlikely to improve with further cellaring, it also not in jeopardy of a quick decline either. I’m guessing this is still good for another 2-3 years, if cellared property. Outstanding at almost 12 years.

  February 1, 2019 - This combination of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 1% Petit verdot beat the Uriah out by approximately one and a half points. This is not going to get any better with more bottle age. This wine is right at the top. Drinking very well. A little bit of glycerin on the front with some chocolate-covered black cherries and almonds on the front. The middle of this wine gains a touch of worn saddle leather, and this is where a hint of black pepper starts to creep in. This wine is still tannic on the finish. I actually think this one might improve with another year or two of age. Very surprised. Will seek out current vintages of this one.

  December 18, 2018 - Still a great deep fruit wine, though perhaps on its decline. Drink soon!
