Darker hues than I've ever seen from this bottling. Rather amber and dark. Marzipan, kettle corn, carmelized fruit. I enjoy tasting these but they always guarantee a hangover for me. — 9 years ago

Wow! Stunningly unctuous, viscous, mouth-coatingly cotton candy-like, sensual experience. Hopefully you all get an opportunity to visit this exotic destination. — 10 years ago

Opened at kickoff of the Seahawks-Carolina game. Really in a perfect spot much like the Seahawks were during that second half beatdown. This amazingly still poured dark deep purple, like Ritchie Blackmore. Perfect tannins frame ymmy dark fruit. Man, glad a have a few more in the cellar. — 11 years ago

Tipping the scales across the board, with high %, high acidity, high tannins and massive fruit, framed by loads of toasty oak. Elegant? No. Will I buy again? No. Impressive? Yes. — 10 years ago

The old man on the mountain never disappoints. Big, bold and brawny. The mountain fruit just has punch enough to hold up to the tannins in this big boy. The nose is tar, blackberries and menthol. 12 years old and still has a long life left. — 10 years ago
