From the damned vintage comes another good wine. Is this as full-bodied as the 09 or 10? No. Notes on this wine are black cherry, rhubarb, mint on the nose and just about the same on the entry. Gains a floral note in the middle. Finishes with black cherry and white flowers. Rounded character but acidity is quite present. Tannin are a bit sweet, slightly astringent but doesn't really take away from this wine. If anything it adds a bit of mystery. This was a Coravin glass and a half today, with the remainder likely going down tomorrow. I'd say this is probably just about the time to start drinking on these if you have a few. — 5 years ago
Drinking well. Decanted for 6 hours. The alcohol is still coming through. Still has good fruit. — 7 years ago

I used to think there was no such thing as too big, tannic, and hit you over the head of a wine so long as it was well done. Well, this is very well done and excels at what it seems to be aiming for. But at this point in my evolving taste, it’ seems on the knife’s edge of being very enjoyable or too much. It comes close to drinking like 100% petite sirah. — 3 years ago
