  14.9% abv. 63% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot. Dark garnet core, light rim. PNP notes: Some heat in glass, dark fruit, deep brooding nose. Very lush in mouth, tannins mostly faded, sweet black fruit, plums, cocoa, spice. At peak, possibly fading for some palates. This bottle was stored well, cork was dry no leaking. Drink now with food and friends, and contemplate what your life looked like in late 2004.

  Excellent bottle really in it's prime now! Black and red fruits a bit of dusty cellar floor and leather, good acid streak that makes for a long finish. Tannin structure still alive. Nice bottle

  Tasted after a long afternoon of drinking so my notes are minimal and hopefully accurate, plum spice and other dark fruits, nice balance of acid and tannin, seemed like a really nice bottle for the price. Will try another bottle soon.

  This wine just moves as it opens up. At first, I was getting more of the bell pepper notes, then I was getting some tea leaf, but at hour 3, I was picking up more of the cola notes. Just a beautiful wine that still has a bit more time left in the bottle. Shame they aren't making wine anymore.
