Broken cork but not crumbly. Full spicy nose. Initially a bit acid and bandaid but opened up after 10 minutes. Still good and showing hints of greatness but this bottle was a bit past.

Very, very nice. The spicy (pepper/smoke) flavor came through just enough to balance the fruit. Absolutely enjoyed this wine! I can see another two years - but why? It is drinking fabulous NOW!

Don't remember much except that I really liked this and found it a cut above even my Turleys, so that's got to be worth something. But concur to drink soon.

Kept overnight, Vacu-vined and compared head to head with the Turley Juvenile. Did have a bigger nose, more complex dark fruit, especially blueberry , and had more depth and interesting flavors. Double the price but was a step up. Slightly better the first night after 3 hours of air time.
