If you got it now is the time. Right at peek. Still great fruit, asid, & stones but full of mushroom, sweatty leather, butcher shop floor, & dirt. The tanmins are soft and pushed back behind everything else but still there. To me this is what I want when I lay wine down. — 8 years ago
F---ing Legit! As thoughtful as any great Bordeaux or Cru Burgundy & under $25 — 8 years ago
All black olive, dried herbs & tannin for now. Fruit just showing enough to know it's there. Needs time — 8 years ago
Overly exuberant at first but came together with some air. Really lively and bright for a wine with 14.4% alcahol — 8 years ago
Rich & spicy but with sharp acid maybe a little past prime better warmer high 50s slightly hot but still very good lots of spice — 8 years ago

Almost Mosel Riesling in its sharp acid, mineralaty and laser like focus — 8 years ago
Very lively, down right twitchy. Very primary fruit and crushed stones, with razer sharp acid. Really long oyster shell, lemon, pepper, freshly milled lumber finish & lots of chalk. Missing some focus. — 8 years ago
Kirsch, mushrooms, iodine, dirt & fresh red fruit. Amazing balance for such a natoiusly hot vintage. — 8 years ago
