  Fading fast so I suggest drinking asap. Fruit is reducing down to syrup but it retains some of its Paso Robles charms like black pepper and red licorice.

  From magnum: Still drinkable and quite enjoyable once open for 4 hours, and even better 24 hours later when the touch of sour cherry and a light alcohol finish left it. The bright flavors left after a few hours and it was rich, full bodied bramble-blackberry flavors with cassis and very minor plum flavors that rounded the finish. Drink ASAP from larger formats, I'm not sure 750ml bottle would still be this decent

  Drinking beautifully...decanted for 2 hours; nose of leather, tobacco, meat notes, . Lovely blend on the palate of bell pepper, dark fruit, vanilla/tobacco, black pepper notes from the oak. Long finish. Very well balanced...plenty of acidity still going on. Lots of life on this one...bummed it's our only bottle from this vintage.

  fragrant, beautiful nose, a solid wine the first evening. By day 2 had faded significantly - still pleasant but not nearly as much depth. Probably waited too long.
