August 25, 2018 - A tremendous bottle of wine. Decanted. Perfectly balanced, fruit was still alive. The cork was in perfect condition.

November 25, 2010 - Enjoyed by all with Thanksgiving dinner. Probably coming down from peak but very balanced and drinkable. Good color, restrained nose, nice fruit but fading. Decent finish.

June 13, 2008 - Tile red. Developed nose with earthy tones, plum and sour cherry. Still crisp but clearly on the plateau.

October 1, 1999 - Decent earth, cherry, and oak nose leads to delicate, lightly acidic, but complex palate that needs food to reach its peak. Drying out it seems. Translucent rose in the glass
