Really dark opaque purple, with dense color tone not eased up on the rim. The bubbles are purple too. It shows a bit brownish tone on the rim. Beautiful dense legs on the rim flowing slowing downward. Nose of ripe dark sweet fruit, wood fragrance like cedar, leather, herbs, jam, raisin, and a slight hint of spice. All the fragrance is saturate, but in harmony. Taste of bright acidity, dried apricot, peppery, black tea, zest, dark chocolate, medium tannins, oaky, and peaty. Aftertaste is long with dark chocolate and coffee-mocha note, and a bit tea flavor. Wow. I hope I have another bottle for aging. — 10 years ago

2005 vintage, magnum. I'm really not sure what to say. @Cathy Corison is simply the best! While I'm sure she'd tell me I should have waited another decade, the bottle was just delightful. Well balanced. Earthy minerality and deep fruit are in harmony as usual. Just wish I had more to revisit. — 11 years ago

Really good, smooth full bodied and drinkable. Tastes expensive, also very very similar to "Earthquake", by Michael David Winery which I like. — 11 years ago

Salami, cheese, wine and talking rubbish evening. Wine of the night. In harmony now but can bat on for sure. — 12 years ago
