Sampled over two days. Fairly vibrant still with slight hints of anise to the nose to go with a slightly sour raspberrry with just a touch of leather. Thick mouth feel with black cherry dominant and a nicely rounded tannin that suggests a bit of spice. Was bigger before but may just be on the cusp of the downside over the next few months. Drink now.

Deep dark color. Nose show mostly oak with cedar box up front and vanilla sweetness towards the end. Taste is currant, raspberry and more oak. Surprising tannins and there is a bit of heat as the temperature comes up. Nice but not memorable.

Fantastic wine. Full bodied, lots of tannins, cheery and tobacco notes. Long elegant after taste. Will definately buy again. Great valur for money.

Smooth and delicious. Popped and poured. Dry Creek delivers a consistent meritage.

Sorry, my palate is all messed up tonight with things tasting way too bitter. Spouse doesn't get the bitterness so will not even bother.
