  Same notes as my last bottle. Paired very well with grilled porterhouse steak. Love this wine.

  Couple of hours of decant time, the nose is cherry and tar, with a palate that starts off with grippy tannins but mellows into something more silky, with a great balance of acidity. Complexity is beginning to develop, with more cellar time, several years, this will gain a point or two.

  Consistent with previous notes. A wine that is being a bit difficult in opening up. Tasty. Grainy tannins, red fruits with a bit of currant. Also black tea and tar and bitterness. Good balance and complexity. Decent finish. Maybe Day 2 will see some improvement.

  Opened for 30 minutes at a restaurant. Lovely clear red in color - no browning. Drinking perfectly right now - well balanced, soft tannins, long finish. Very happy that I have two more bottles!

  Decanted for 2 hours, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Pretty closed down, red fruit - cherry, a little floral component, and cherry pie. Palate: Medium-full bodied, cherry cough syrup flavors up front with the tannins kicking in through the mid-palate and some tar flavors appearing in the back-end. Medium length finish of tart red fruit and tar. Enjoyable, but nearly as good as the first bottle consumed in May, 2010.
