December 30, 2023 - Red and black cherry on the nose, with hints of cigar box and leather, more of the same on the palate, medium body, touch simple, and a medium finish. time to drink up.

September 3, 2022 - One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Bold boysenberry fruit aromas emanated during decant. There was some sediment. After resting, wine was clear; dark red bowl with some lightening to rim and a large halo. Nose had softened to dark cherries, plum, leather, and cedar. Tannins and acid make this a nice food wine. Silky smooth; deep fruit. Long finish with a touch of dust. In a wonderful place.

December 9, 2021 - Red cherry, black cherry, and plum fruit. Mostly have given way to the tertiary notes of red licorice, stewed tomatoes, cigar box, leather, and cedar. Dusty acidity and soft tannins with a nice long finish. Actually in a very good spot right now after 20 years. I still think some of their 90's vintages are drinking a little better but this is really good.

May 12, 2019 - Dark purple red, fruity with dark fruits, blackberries, creamy, dark chocolate, concentrated, firm, full body, still young, you can still taste some tannins, but no rough edge, very well to drink now.
