  Enjoyed a portion of the bottle on day one (90pts). Luscious red, somewhat sweet dark fruit; medium aroma. Day two after being corked with a Repour stopper, somewhat disappointed. Dark muted red fruit. One dimensional; no real depth of flavors, complexity or interesting flavors.

  Last of these enjoyed tonight and I must say that I was really quite impressed. My last impression of this wine ended in an NR rating, but I think I'm ready to give this one a 91. This wine started rather flabby in the front. This is a parcel of three Lake Hennessy / Pritchard Hill vineyards so in hindsight I probably should have kept the cork in this one for another 10 years. Still pretty delicious tonight. Dark, thick, blackberry cassis, hint of iodine. Middle of this wine shows a gritty, terroir-driven note. The finish is where this one kind of lacks. A little acidic, mature black fruit, black pepper, but really not very long....at all. I think this one could benefit from a couple more years in the bottle, but not sure how much more this one would improve in the bottle, if at all.

  Soft medium plus textured body with soft tannins. Sweet red and purple fruit with spicy tobacco. Acid is pretty high as is the oak treatment but should be great in 1-2 years. Best open an hour or two before drinking. A steal at $29 bucks.

  A little paradoxical. I experienced one of these previous vintages of this wine that was a "man's man" from start to finish (Natural Light beer with an overcooked hungry man dinner through and through). This vintage had a rather red flower kind of nose (hibiscus!). Smelled like a field of wildflowers. Odd for mountain fruit. Wine was assaulted quite viciously in a decanter for about 30 minutes and served. Nose was better but was still wildflower-y with a mental scene I expected to see in a Downy commercial. But, after an hour, the nose here was dark blackberry, sweet toffee on the nose. Blackberry on the palate, and quite a bit was here, but also had a note of grilled meat and potatoes. Dark middle turning sweeter. Finish has good rounded fruit but there was a significant presence of an earthy and sort of chocolate-y goodness here. Really nice wine. Lots of things here, and will surely improve with 1-2 years of time in bottle. Drink by 2019.
