  Best bottle to date. More balanced and good with food. Dark fruits, full-bodied and acidity is more restrained.

  Better than last bottle. Still lots of acidity but better balance. Used aervana and decanter. Suggest decanting for a couple of hours before serving.

  Full bodied from aging. Fruits more muted than before. Still somewhat intense with sour cherry on the finish. Past prime but never got into a good balance as the 06.

  Not as good as the 06. Lots of burnt toast with black fruits, sour chery and intensity on the finish. Drink with food.

  Nice bottle, but the fruit seems to be fading, despite being stored at 56 degrees. Dark fruit, with black cherry and plenty of tannin. Medium finish with some tertiary development with a decant. A great deal for the $14 I paid, but if I had any more, I'd be drinking sooner than later. 90-91
