Good showing tonight which makes two good bottles in a row. Popped and poured. No second day notes as we finished it on the first night. We suggest drinkings soon as tannins have faded.

This was a nice surprise. We bought a case on a local review and a high RP score many many years ago and liked the early bottles. The last bottle (see note) was disappointing. We threw together a quick dinner of pasta with Swedish meatballs and grabbed a bottle of this out of the cellar. Popped and poured. Fruit and nose were delightful. True, the tannins have faded away, but the fruit of this 70% merlot/30% cab is showing very well. Good finish as well. If you have this, drink up.

Fading fast with no noticeable tannins remaining. The fruit is there but it fades pretty quickly. Cork was slightly raised and this was not stored well its first few years so this may have been a slightly flawed bottle.

Chicago Weekend; 7/28/2006-7/31/2006 (Chicago): Decent wine, with lots of leather and tobacco. Fruit dissipated reletively quickly, but still pleasurable. Drink now.
