Nose of lemon curd with clear oxidative notes. Spice notes on the nose. Cardamom? Dry mineral driven finish. Mid palate slightly lacking, but the complexity more than makes up for it. — 9 years ago
2006. Dark cherry. Blackberry. Chocolate! Long, round, pleasantly bitter finish. Acidity peeks through at the end. — 10 years ago
Red, nearly baked, apple with hints of must and acetone. Silky mouthfeel. Starts slightly sweet but quickly backed up by a wonderfully acidic backbone. Nose is strikingly old but the palate is surprisingly youthful. — 9 years ago
1984 vintage. Tasted blind. Cherry and tobacco followed by hints of oak. And it just smells *old*. Mild sharp drying tannin and backed by strong acidity. — 9 years ago
Crisp apple. Pear. Hints of wet stone. Lean and refreshing with a slight lingering acidity. — 10 years ago

Honey, caramel (with a touch of soy?), maraschino cherry. The color? Flat-out brown, more like a Madeira. Palette is rich and the acidity comes oh so close to cleaning up after itself, leaving you with a slight lingering sweetness. — 9 years ago
