Decanted a few hours, then consume over the next 48. Cork was dried out. Initial tasting had a note of incense, maybe sandalwood. This faded away during the decant. Starting to taste like it’s a little on the downward slide, drink up.

Not a huge fan of this wine for the cost. Maybe it us just a little to soon for this one. Finish is quite uneventful and coarse. Very earthy and typical of the Rutherford region. Although it is not my kind of wine, I am sure many people would enjoy this one. We'll wait a while before we open another.

Second tasting with consistent notes. Interesting aromatic component that I can't quite put my finger on, pepper? eucalyptus? Slightly austere fruit profile, but I found it quite enjoyable.

No formal notes. Courtesy of Bob & Laurie. Red currant, vanilla, plum and dark fruit qualities on the nose and palate. Balanced, with plenty of fruit. Enjoyable.

Remarkably deep and rich. Slight pepper notes.
