Have six of these. Paid $50 a bottle from the winery. Dark purple to the rim with slight bricking. Decanted for an hour. Wonderful nose of blackberries and sweet bing cherry. In the mouth it had ripe cherry fruit on the front with blueberry, cassis and black raspberry fruit. Tannins kind of came in and then left and came back again over the two hours I drank the wine. The tannins were not rough though and rather sweet. This wine should soften over the next five years, but the fruit is so fresh tasting now I'm not sure how long I will wait to continue drinking this wine while waitng for the tannins to soften. 91 pts now.

Why do you not add your tasting notes to others that have written on this wine since 2002?

My computer has been screwy and when I tried to find it on previous posts nothing came up. Sorry.
