2006. Past its prime. Sat for years. Day 3 now and it's shot. Day one it was on the verge of being shot. Dark fruit, inky. — 9 years ago

Smoke and mint on the nose. Sour cherries, or is it "on the verge" cherries? Leather and bark but light on its feet. — 9 years ago

On the verge of being too ripe, this is youthful with black balsamic fruits dominating the aroma and taste. A nice mouthful of wine; and will improve further over time. — 10 years ago

Burleed pineapple, white peach and apricot. Viscous on the verge of syrupy but the acidity keeps it lively. Decades of life ahead — 10 years ago

All biodynamic which is quite impressive. The nose shows notes of extremely ripe black fruits (blueberries, blackberries, plums, currants) spice, oak, vanilla, sweet tobacco. On the verge of jammy but still has structure. — 11 years ago

Massive, powerful but balanced. Mountain Dry Creek fruit. Still got some time but drinking really well — 11 years ago

Too young. Needs 5-10 years. However, with 2 hours of air, this is amazing already. Huge fruit, long finish. Alcohol is clearly high but you don't taste it. A great wine just on verge of being too huge. Should age as long as you like — 9 years ago

Toasted popcorn kernels on the verge of popping, coconut, golden raisin, white yogurt on nuts, nougat, unripe pineapple, light canteloupe, stewed pear, steely minerality, roasted nuts, L-M bodied on the palate with M+ acid and a dry, tart finish. Complex and interesting. Delicious. 4.0 — 9 years ago

Nice savory notes of sandalwood, balsamico and blue fruits. It's on the verge of old age but remains a pleasant mouthful with good acidic lift and freshness. Drink now. The 1996. — 10 years ago

Excellent wine. Beautiful floral notes and black fruits on the nose. Beautiful balance with mildly rustic tannins, balanced acidity, and beautiful fresh fruit. The tannins verge on grippy and balance out a wet earth minerality. Really enjoyable. — 11 years ago

I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but this is really damn good. Sous bois, cranberry & pomegranate fruit, a bit of stems, and some oak on the verge of disappearing. — 12 years ago

9.0

2005 vintage. At Texture. On the verge of deep ruby. Big powerful whiff of smoke, reductiveness, black fruits, sweet spice and Oakwood. On the palate rich and spicy, deep concentration, noticeable tannic structure. Medium plus finish. This is another big wine from this producer. Not really my style: hammer to crack a nut stuff. — 10 years ago
