  I have had this wine numerous times before. I have loved this wine in the past. Recently got this at a Skinner auction. I do not think it was stored properly. Disappointing wine. Drank 2 bottles out of a 10 bottle lot. Hopefully this was an anomaly

  Tasted 6 wines with a small group: 4 of 6, this was double blind.
  
  - Med, garnet, slight bricking
  - Savory, grilled veggies note, maybe slightly ashy, bell pepper but not too prominent, dark fruit, plum/prunes, milk chocolate, eucalyptus
  - Med body, med acidity, med tannins, med mineral finish
  
  I guess Loire valley cab franc with some bottle age. Pretty far off and really enjoyed this wine.
