Ya I remember you. Where have you been all these years? Oh, Mr. Fish and I found you when the distributor was going bust and could not find you a home. Score one for the good guys from the Great Recession. We gave you a place to sit quietly in retirement. And, you rewarded us for our patience. Next up the 2007!

Nose was a bit off but not off putting. Flavor profile is terrific. Well balanced, layered, deep brooding gem.

A black fruit explosion. A good complement to the Revana we drank earlier. Another 2006.

This is aging beautifully.. full, dense with a rusty rim! Great nose and even better on the palate!

Definitely ready to drink now for this vintage. I preferred it more after it opened up over the hour.
