  Opened for special occasion. Minimal bricking and relatively youthful appearance. Pulled from cellar since purchase and poured....needs to warm up and open. Classic red cherry nose, with bubbalicious or perhaps bubble yum notes, with expansive florals as it opens, some vanilla. Some tartness and lively bright acidity, with tang elements, keeping this on the fresh side vs. the flabby side. Day two under vac-u-vin - acidic and lively, cherry and some hits of licorice notes for sure, a little muted and angular. Good but lacking a little fruit.

  - Brick color - Ignore my previous BS comment. LOL. Cracked another bottle last night and the wine was rich and thick with jammy fruit and power to spare. Glad I still have a few left in the cellar, but I will be drinking them all over the next 12 months.

  From my cellar. Unfortunately past its prime, but still brings back great memories. Good news is I still have 6 bottles to enjoy as a good, but no longer great wine.

  Plum, dark fruit, leather and tar, with a hint of coffee and mocha flavors. Smooth, rich texture. Drinking nicely with a decant.

  Leather, cedar and black, dark fruit. Not quite a 90 pt wine, but good.
