Brick in color. Nose is cedar, dusty fruit, and old leather. Just a little pungent. The mouthfeel is great. There is bright fruit and great acidity. Medium bodied. Strawberries, raspberry, cedar, and leather. Great tannins. The nose and end shows its age. I feel like I’m 2 years late to a great party. — 6 years ago

Some of the happiness may indeed be because I've been a little to Californian lately. Occupational hazard. This has got pretty violet aromas mixed with herbal notes of pine and faint rosemary. Palate reflects aromas, adding dried cranberries, leather and tobacco notes. Good tannic grip. — 11 years ago

Big dark fruit, ripe plum, with supporting tobacco and smoke. Tannins are smooth thought still grippy after 17 years. Amaze. — 9 years ago
