  2 hours of air. Color strong. The 70% Cab Franc definitely imparted its green veggies notes, but not in a bad way. Slightly sweet and sour red fruits with some ripe blueberries and Oak at the finish. People seem to tend underestimate how long these H Blocks last. This bottle needed the air and would likely be showing in top form for another handful of years.

  A little closed off at first, but red licorice nibs and cherry coke flavors developed. Slight sediment. Got better towards the end, wish I would have drank it slower. Drank the whole bottle alone easily without even realizing it.

  Nice chocolate and dark berry nose with a hint of earth as consumed. I let breath for an hour before consumption. Really enjoyed this wine. I have a 2005-2009 vertical that I am looking forward to experiencing.

  Too bad. Otherwise would have been outstanding.

  Really singing right now. Very expressive nose that evolved over the evening. Smooth mouthfeel. We let this breathe for 1.5 hours in the bottle before pouring. Finish had some heat and spice, which is the only thing holding this back from being a classic wine.
