  Still such a powerful wine even after 15 years in bottle. We thoroughly enjoyed this wine, gorgeous strong fruit, nice layers and balance, and with such a long life ahead of it still. It bowed to the 2009 Hillside Select, but was an extremely worthy opening act. W-Katie and Tim.

  Similar to the bottle I had at the end of last year but a little more vibrant. Opened for two hours but did not decant. It was consumed over two nights. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was dark cherry, plum, hints of chocolate and oak. The finish brought out earth tones.

  valadorna and arcanum drank together with pasta w/ pancetta and sausage - both delicious, valadorna a touch more "grapey" came across as slightly sweeter, with a hint of brett vs the arcanum which was more cabernet like. both excellent - 94
