Not much fruit left, but lots of herbs and spice to keep it interesting, with a long tart finish. Time to drink up, I think.

Rich, spicy nose, solid red fruit, good acid, lots of tannins on the long finish. This wine isn't going anywhere soon, but I don't think its getting any better. Drink up!

Holding up well. Decanted about 45 minutes. Smooth well integrated tannins. Nice acidity with decent fruit.

Rustic magenta. Cassis, the inside of a just emptied oak barrel, and violet nose. Medium bodied, blueberries, dirty blackberries, sage, completely integrated tannins, smoke, spices, and a long, blue-fruited and dry finish. Didn't start singing until night 2.

Dense brick color w/heavy tears. Blackberry, plum, white pepper scents. Blackberry continues in the flavors with a coating finish. Drink now.

Opened a magnum of this tonight. The wine was smooth with just a hint of browning on the edge. The cork (which was pushing out of the bottle slightly into the foil) crumbled so we decanted the bottle. Definitely ready to drink, we enjoyed it with baked salmon for dinner and with some vanilla ice cream and strawberry crostata for dessert.

Earthy and starting to properly emerge into a middle aged wine now. Very nice.

Mature BdX, but showing no browning or bricking. Lively at PnP, will revisit in a few hours.

Consistent with my notes from a year ago. A beautiful wine with or without food.

Drinking very well now. There's a lot to like here. Smooth...it glides over the palate--no dead spots--and has a medium long finish. Pairs well with almost any food--won't overpower most dishes.

From magnum. This was in pretty good shape despite the heat damage. Cork had been compromised, but no oxidation, just leakage. Kept getting better throughout the night. Great wine for Thanksgiving dinner. Medium bodied, great with food, fruit kept coming out in waves.

Thought it was tasting old. Fruit pretty much gone. Coffee and leather.

Deep Color that looks to slowly be transitioning from purple to red. Closed immediately after opening but really seems to get better after 2-3 hours in the decanter. Lots of fruit on the nose, green pepper and spice on the palate(maybe a little old world leather flavor as well), and a decent finish. I look forward to seeing how this evolves over the next two days. Unless it falls apart tomorrow night I will be in no rush to drink …

Really drinking well. I'll probably hold my last 06' until at least next year. Peter is a fantastic winemaker, his retirement makes me sad every time I open up one of his bottles. The victory is always a solid bottle!

Deep garnet purple in the glass. Nose is shy at first. Cassis and coffee on the palate. Soft tannins and medium plus acidity. Holding its own thanks to limited malolactic. A great food wine.

A nice wine..some might say too young but I don't think so, seemed wide open to me. Fruit forward nice fruit a hint of herbs the group felt it was a bit too sweet I had to agree. Was up against some stiff competition.

Even more delicious than I remember. Perfect with roasted beef tenderloin and a dark chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Bright fruit, cherry, a little leather, maybe a hint of anise, super smooth. Can't say enough good things about this wine!

Drank this wine with Korean BBQ and thought the flavors complimented well. Overall a good bottle for a casual dinner with friends.

Pop 'n pour. Wine is a dark, inky purple. Notes are very similar to my previous bottle. Aromas of dark fruit upfront, some vanilla coming through. Nice acidity to balance out the fruit. Gains a bit of complexity with time in the glass. Definitely decant if you want this to reach its potential. Opened this too soon, will hold my remaining bottles for another 3+ years. Edit: Bumped this up a couple of points. The wine was drinking much better …

Fantastic as always. Brought to a restaurant. Last glass was definitely the best. I recommend at least an hour decant to allow the flavors to develop.

Notes from Day 2 (recorked but not refrigerated last night): Deep ruby color, lots of dark red fruit on the nose, picking up a hint of cloves as well. More aromatic and open than last night, the notes of cherry cola have receded into the background. Fruit upfront but nicely balanced with a good bit of acidity. A little vegetal/green on the mid-palate with vanilla undertones. Tannins are present but not overwhelming. Long finish that is a combination of sour …
