Extremely good, and contrary to some of the other notes the bottle I had was definitely not past its prime. This was a fairly spicy wine with lively acidity and good, though mature, black fruit. The tannins had mostly resolved, but there was still a decent amount of structure. I wouldn't hold this wine much longer, but so long as it's been stored well I wouldn't worry about it dying tomorrow either.

from a 1.5L; barnyard notes blow off in 30min; dark still young brooding plum earth and tannin but with some inherent sweetness to the fruit; more savory than the rosenblum 07

dark with dark bubbles; sl sweet dark berry, plum, earth; big smooth mid palate and adequate acidity; tannins are secondary to the big fruit. great with the bbq ribs and left over flank steak.

Nice, fully resolved and on the downward slope. My wife thought a bit port-like, but I didn't think so.
