Holiday tasting (EBCC): Walk around tasting. Earth and cherry qualities with good underlying acidity. Drinking well, but should hold for a bit yet too. Will likely plan on enjoying our remaining two within the next 3-5 years.

Its hard to believe but its been almost ten years since I last tasted this label from our cellar. Back then, on 12/26/2011 - I wrote: "Very open and expressive - bright berry, strawberry, mulberry, spice and wood with long moderate tannin finish."
Consistent with my tasting ten years ago too, this had similar tasting profile and the I blindly gave it the same rating. It showed no diminution of aging whatsoever and it likely still at its apex of its drinking profile.
This was garnet colored, medium bodied, bright, concentrated ripe red and blue berry fruits with earthy minerality and violet notes, smooth silky texture with firm but approachable tannins.
4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Our house): Finishing up the last half of the bottle from the prior evening. Black cherry, spice and earthy clay notes. Soft and silky, with flavors of cherry and dark berry fruit with a nice earthy undertone.

Served at social group tasting. Consistent with earlier tastings.

Cherry and dark fruit with an earthy undertone. A bit reserved on the palate, with dark fruit and earth. There's an astringency in the finish.
