Just a touch of oxy in the juice, which had flattened the vibrancy and depth of this usually-great-after-age wine, one of our favorites for many years. Still, the base fruit could be enjoyed, if not in an optimal way. Didn't last overnight for the next day.

I love Paradigm, but this bottle was off. Probably the age, but really lacked the usual power and boldness, and the finish was pretty much non-existent. I take the blame on this one for not drinking earlier.

Had after a 2003 Pride Reserve. This held its own. Still some bold fruit. It had been well cellared since purchase.

Drinking very well now, and saw no sign of decline. Good fruit and structure.
