  The wine was excellent. Even though 2003 was a warm year the wine is still in good form, well balanced, and very enjoyable.

  The last of six, and an example of the futility of perfect timing. In many ways the best of the lot, with deep black fruit notes, a touch rustic, and a peppery spice backbone. At the same time, the wine peaked quickly, and even when first opened was a bit drying on the finish. Call it a fading glory, and one that was well appreciated despite some wistfulness for what might have once been.

  Just oak and tannins left. No fruit flavors at all. After decanting, it wasn't as harsh, but not worth drinking

  My one and only bottle of this wine. Went well with lasagna but the wine was mediocre, especially for the price. Acidity out of balance with little fruit remaining. this bottle was much better on day 3, 89-90.
