Delicious and at its peak. Like Talbott in its best years. Too bad they no longer are getting Sleepy Hollow grapes. Talbott, unfortunately now produces well-made but boring wine from this vineyard.

This is on the downhill now for me. Super deep golden color, looks almost like a dessert wine now. It was still very tasty, but the more vibrant fruit and started to fade and you are left with the big oak and buttered popcorn flavors. Time for me to drink up my last bottle.

Second bottle within the last month. I didn't like this one as much this time. Maybe a bit too much wood this time. Still very good and enjoyable though.

Super ripe fruit, very round at this point. Same golden color. Tropical fruits are non-stop. Went well with risotto.

Age hasn't helped. Rich wine, with some caramel, fruit is tasty but lacks sweetness.
