  July 18, 2021 - 22 years old and silky, fruit was present (not muted or worn out). Great job to Joe Davis!

  August 8, 2017 - Big Arcadian Tasting in ATL (1997-2008) (Antico Posta): Magnum- My note says, "holy shit, the nose on this wine" Beautiful nose that just eminates. This shows some of the richness that the '99 also carried, but it's buffered with more earth and acid and there is slightly more tertiary stuff going on here. I'd like to have more of this one.

  July 18, 2015 - Arcadian Retrospective in the O.C. (Casa del Dietz): -- bottle opened at least a few hours before tasting --
  -- tasted a single pour non-blind over 10 – 15 minutes --
  
  A bit candied on the Nose --- a "cool," "pure" raspberry licorice aroma. Medium-light bodied. Relaxed and red-fruited on the palate; fantastic acidity. Seeing as how this is already sixteen years old, the question isn't if this wine will live to see its twentieth birthday, but rather if it will see its thirtieth. Fantastic, but I think I have a slight preference – right now – for the 2000 vintage of the same, that I tasted alongside.

  February 5, 2013 - Wine needed decanting. Still redolent of fresh fruits, with balanced fruit, acidity and alcohol. Defined and layered; fine grained tannins added to the wine's filigree. Complex, and still relatively concentrated, with edgy acidity, the wine can hold and develop harmoniously for at least 5 more years.

  January 10, 2010 - Burgundy and pinot noir (Wink Wine Bar): Our favorite wine of the Pisoni flight, a new world attempt at old world wine. Some vague sweetness on the nose, nice tannins, good structure, low acidity and not overpowering. This pisoni had a candied, baked cherry nose, some cherry, roasted coffee, and cola on the palate, some brightness and a decent finish. One taster likes new world wines to taste new world, but this was close to being a village chambolle or nuits st. george. Good wine-making here.
