Color: Deep Garnet Nose: Red Fruit, Vanilla Taste: Deep dark fruit with many complex flavors There is lots of deep dark fruis, a bit of cough syrup up front with leather, cigar box, vanilla and a nice lingereing finish. Tons of sediment. This is in great spoit now - not sure it as years to go...... drink up!!

Poured from bottle. At first, funky and tannic, and marginally enjoyable. As I write this, I am 2 hours into the bottle, and tasting as I write. Much better, tannins softened much, though still a bit harsh and bitter on the finish. Deep color and still big fruit. Probably still developing. Definitely decant and wait a few hours.

Pre Fathers Day Get Together With Friends (Winopops3 Residence): This did not show that well. Hopefully just an off bottle. This was way more advanced tasting than it should have been at 8 years. Almost devoid of that great fruit I remember and quite rustic. Leather and cigar dominate, but not in a good integrated way.

Disappointing. Tannins rough and fruit is muted. Perhaps it needs more time.

Wow! 2 hour decant allowed this full bodied long legged cab too open, still has the tannins to carry this for a few more years; tremendous qpr
