Still has lots of tannin and body.. Pencil shavings, raspberry preserve, med tannin, dusty earth and brambly fruit.

Still a big wine, even with the age. Great cab franc nose, pencil shavings, rustic spice, med-plus tannin and pretty cherry compote fruit. Always a sucker for these, even if they're not my atypical style.

Pencil shavings, raspberry preserve, iron minerality, and an earthy/vegetal note on the back end. Awesome pencil notes on the palate with pretty berry fruit. Tannins are just right. Finally waited the correct time for a wine :)

Good varietal character: green peppers and cherries, plenty of oak. Paired nice with steak and sautéed kale.

Excellent vino. I had it in Atlanta for Father's Day. Yum yum Enjoying second bottle with my soul mate on a different day and dammit it's just as good.
