  Outstanding. Great smooth tannins. Long silky finish. Lots of fruit balanced with just right amount of acidity.
  
  Have lots of the 2010 vintage. Will save them now based on how this aged.

  Bought 4 of these back in 2006 for $19(the days!)...and somehow have 5 TN's logged into CT? All tremendous bottles, especially for the $. Thought this was my last bottle noted here in 2011...but alas...another forgotten bottle in the cellar has shown up! My last note is STILL spot on. The creaminess in this wine is amazing...like a silky aged Bordeaux! Still youthful as ever...everything in total balance with the polished dark berry fruits...wonderful earthy and dried flowers florals...licorice, tobacco and cedar spice...energized with that sour tart orange acidity. Captivating complexities, and harmonious feel. What a wine! Please Wine Fairy...leave me another!

  Decanted for 30 min. Tasted amazing right out of the gate and even better an hour later. Fragrant with beautiful deep cherry notes and herbs. Balanced, light and smooth. I wish I had more bottles.

  Decant fro sediment and served in 20min. A very fine bottle and looking at my notes probably the finest to date. This was definitely built to last and it rewarded the patience with a lovely mix of dried flower scents and light herbs adding to the dark red mature cherry fruit flavors. Smooth fairly lite and elegant, a true pleasure.

  I was worried how this had held up, but it's absolutely delicious! Fantastic nose of pressed flowers/potpourri, leather shop and baked black cherries. Herbal (lavender/thyme?) shadings as well. Full-bodied and dense, this has loads of sweet fruit as well as gravely tannin and acidity. Absolutely fantastic with lamb cassoulet, but has enough fruit and fragrance to drink by itself. Best now, this should last another few years. 92
