October 16, 2018 - I didn't realize I had a bottle left. It's been at least 3-4 years since I've tried it. It has gone through a nice transformation. It has picked up weight and rich red berry fruit framed by acidity that was complementary. Pretty nose of raspberries and potpourri. Went nicely with pot roast.

May 16, 2018 - Blinds at home (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. A little plummy and ripe, but a hint of strawberry clued me into Oregon pinot noir. There was some discussion about whether this was California, but I couldn't find enough cola or dark fruit to get there. On the other hand, this is a bit heavy-handed and shows a relatively high amount of extraction and lots of tannin. I figured this was around five years old, and was quite surprised at the age.

December 29, 2014 - I liked my bottle three and a half years ago, yet I was surprised when this stole the show tonight. Drinking beautifully after a brief decant, the wine delivered a beautiful mix of black ripe fruit with plenty of cool earthy notes. Balanced, fresh, long and seductive this was everyone's favorite tonight. Super value and it more than stood up to the Gevrey tonight. Glad I gave my other bottle some cellar time. Need to find more.
