Really lovely on day one. Even better on day two. Wonderful menthol ban the nose, along with cherries and some more dark fruit. Solid, yet calm, tannins. Medium acidity.

One hour decant. Pretty pleased with how this wine has held up given its 13 years old. Has some complex layers of fruit but most noticeable are the fine tannins throughout. Good.

So sad this is my last of these. Well developed now but could still go yars. One of the best WA state Bordeaux blends I've had in a few years. Well integrated, tannins are resolved and decent acidity and balance.

This was amazing. Lots of fruit. Lots of complexity. Lots of structure. Drinking terrific today but tons of structure to last many more years.

Really enjoyed my last bottle. The fruit integration is fantastic with a lingering finish.
