Tremendously expressive nose, with dark fruit and violets prevailing. Silky tannins and well integrated oak. It felt younger (opened June 15).

Wowowow decanted for 1 hr, still such a huge wine, has some acid in it a little earth tones but it's a fruity bomb! Sad that it's my last bottle :( at the always fantastic Clancy's in Nola. This bottle maybe has 3 years left but is drinking perfect now

This is a terrific wine - incredibly intensity with superb depth of flavor - but is still too young (was a real jolt coming right after The Thrill of... from Sine Qua Non). Probably needed a couple of hours of decanting in order for it to really open up.

That's a big boy. I remember it being pruney. It wasn't at all. Makes me want to try the other booker vineyard wines.
