Agree completely with recent note by jdbaviation. Very mature, last stages of drinkability. With much of the fruit aged out I don't see any reason to cellar any longer.

Very good wine for a 2004 Dundee Hills wine. Definitely in the last stages of life but still very good. Mostly tertiary notes now. Candied cherries, plums, figs, and prunes. Some leather and tobacco hints as well as some baking spices. Paired great with our 15th anniversary mushroom dinner!

closed when I opened it. clear rim claret color. nose was red fruit. complexity and spice and balance appeared as I ate. a lamp chop. maybe it will open more but I expected it to get even more complex. so disappointed but still a beautiful wine now.I am glad I drank it now
