Open this 2006, decanted it and let sit for one hour and Oh Baby was it good. Nose was a little herbaceous but first taste was rick dark cherry, leather, chocolate and cedar. Smooth tannins. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are fast. There is light sediment in the bottle. Well, it was a one and only I have been saving for a long time. Probably good for another 2-3 years. What a pleasure.

Black and red fruit, cacao, hints of herbs. Medium to fine tannins with good acidity. Last bottle, probably should have cellared for a few more years. Delicious.

Opened on a quiet New Year's Eve at home. Terrific, tannins still a bit tight but not overbearing. Blackberry, black currant, bits of red fruit in there too. Good acidity. Excellent value, bought at the winery on closeout.

Still very nice, but not as good as the last bottle for whatever reason
