  Friday, November 30, 2001 Dark purple with out any sign of age. Nose is tight with a slight dusty, leather tobo scent. Much the same on the palate. Very dry and dusty with some rose elements as well. Some currants also. Very structured. Must be in the dumb stage. Imagine it will be ready to drink in about 2 to 4 years. With duck and veal with cranberry veal sauce.
  Tuesday, February 12, 2002 Deep garnet color. Nose is somewhat light and limited to graphite and tobo. Flavors of raspberry and red fruit, cedar, oak and tobo. A light to medium body. Short-ish finish. A Pauillac Cru Bourgeois of flavor and enjoyment...not much to think about. With prime rib flavored with a mushroom/mustard/horseradish sauce. 2/12/02.
  Tuesday, October 08, 2002 Color of garnet and a nose of cedar, roses and a very unfortunate note of pickles greet the eye and nose. Fruit flavors of cedar and plum as well as bay are clearly discernable, but damn if that pickle flavor isn’t there also. This is terrible. This is the note after the wine has been opened (and vacuumed) for 4 days. When tried earlier with prime rib on Saturday, it had no pickle notes. But it was a very forgettable wine then.
  Friday, December 02, 2005 Ruby on the core with some slight bricking on the rim. Riding leather, tobo, rosemary, roses, dust, green olives flavors, each distinct and finely cut. Cedar echoing on the finish. Real Bordeaux, reasonably priced Although a lighter bodied wine, it nevertheless still delivers a heck lot more pleasure than the Plantey. No hint of sediment. 12.5% alc. With bone in lamb chops from The Dining Room in a fried potato nest.
