  Still alive and kicking. Way too drinkable. Meant to pace this, but basically couldn't put it down.

  Thanks to Mike for a taste of this wine, nose of sweet and sour fruit, same on the palate, medium body, fully mature, tasty, slightly tired but nice fruit, almost mouth filling, and a medium/long finish, photo uploaded.

  Medium red color, immediate earthy cherry nose upon opening, intense cherry and cranberry fruit, slight acidity, long finish. Very nice wine even the next morning after sitting open on counter. Served with grilled pork chops.

  5 years since my last and while this has developed do I like it more? This is a question I have asked myself allot and the answer is I am not sure, there’s an elegance with dried cherry and cranberries, some stone (though only hints and not as prevalent as before) palate has lost a little vibrancy, and the finish did not feel as long still a nice wine but my expectations may have played a part

  Really delicious and seems like it is really at a peak. Deep red fruits with real sap and lots of meadowy herbs and flowers. This really pulls off the neat trick of Burgundian texture with CA fruit. I'll try to keep my hands off the reds for 5-6 years after release from now on out as this seemed like it was the best version of itself.
