Still tight at this point - could go another 5 years at least - beautiful rose, pie cherry and coco notes on the nose. Lots of tannic grip still. Cherry Cola, baking spices and white pepper on the palette. ❤️

Aug 12th, 2020Wow! I have kept this in good conditions for the last 8 years. It is perhaps a little one dimensional but it does it well, just not a long lingering complexity. Intense cherry, cola, and still quite tannic. Could easily go a few more years. Yum!

Oct 22nd, 2017Probably drank this one just a little too soon, still tighter and more tannic than I would have guessed. But regardless, the deep lingering cherry, cola, and spice notes just go on and on. A very big can and emblematic of how great red mtn fruit is.

Aug 1st, 2015A little lighter than I expected, but absolutely true to JM style. The lingering bing cherry and vegetal notes are very pleasant, but somewhat overwhelmed by the heat of the wine. 2005 was a better year I think, but this is perfectly drinkable, especially with a succulent dish like prime rib.
