A nice dark coloring when poured with no bricking on the rim. A muted nose which did not open during the evening. Hints of black fruit, some pepper and leather, all overshadowed by vanilla, probably from the faded tannins. Smooth but disappointing.

A nice dark garnet coloring when poured. (did not decant but did let in breathe with the cork reinserted for about 30 min. A nice bouquet of black fruit, smoke and an earthiness, smoothed out without the overpowering tannins or vanilla that some Blackjack's posses. Around its peak, definitely not 'over the hill'.

Don't really like this one. Maybe it's past its prime or possibly I don't know what i'm talking about and it's personal preference.

Leathery and full. Still drinking beautifully. Rounded and nice.

Enjoyed the winery. Opened up as it drank. Nose changed from earthy to smokey. Jammy.
