Very disappointed. Wine was very cloudy with lots of sediment. Had a very medicine like smell right off the bat. Picked up slight smell of vapo-rub. Tried again after an hour with no changes.

This used to be one of my favorite wines in its youth. Total hedonism in the bottle. However, now 10 years old, it was just funky tonight. Showed a glimpse occassionally of the beautiful fruit that made it so sexy years ago, but after that, it was just in a total awkward stage. I hope at some point it comes out of it and turns into a nice aged wine, but right now, it is not good.

A wonderful wine; throwing quite a bit of sediment now. Dark, dark purple color. Great juice in which you can taste all 3 grape varieties. Different, but just as good, on the second night. This wine gives a lot back to the drinker.

Blind Night (Enotria, Scottsdale): Very dark purple. Strong VA on the nose. Over ripe fruit with a fortified or port like character with extremely high alcohol on the finish. Tastes of dusty dried black fruit. I haven't been overly impressed with the wines of Villa Creek of late.

Popped and poured. One dimensional and a little sweet for me. Picked up a little band aid in glass (brett?). Try again manana.
