  February 22, 2019 - Over the hill. Enjoyable for that, but most fruit is gone and left with some cedar and tobacco. Better after 30 minutes to an hour of open time.

  October 16, 2018 - Another look + extra detail after my CT TN of July 14, '14 which anticipated another two years of life (for the wine, not me): Bought 6b for 31/b from wine.com 15 years ago. Holding well. More sediment this time, decanting highly recommended (also to allow some micro-ox). Main change from last time is the subtle, deep flavor of dark fruit (esp. blackcurrant): pulling out the flavor required concentration, harder to appreciate in a " busy", distracting environment. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable when considering quality, age, and price.

  November 15, 2015 - This was quite tasty. Definitely a modern, new world style, but seems like it's at its peak. Great fruit, full bodied, alcohol is definitely present but not overwhelming. Long finish. Went great with ribeyes that had a southeast asian flavor paste.

  July 14, 2014 - Purchased 10+ years ago from wine.com. It's been stored in a cool, dark basement ever since; and this is the second bottle I've tried. Delicious! Excellent dark ruby color, subdued Bdx nose and body, round and rich, good finish; remarkably little sediment--decanting needed for aeration but not for filtering. Not particularly complex but excellent as the entry-level QCreek red. I was concerned when I read NapaNapa's review from 18 months ago citing "past its prime" and the last favorable TN two years earlier, but the proof was in the bottle. Unlikely to improve but should hold, if well stored, for another 1-2 years at least.

  January 26, 2013 - The wine was good but past its prime. Smooth and pleasant but not much fruit. Bottle drunk four years ago was much better.
