* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This non-commercial bottling is still very rich and satisfying. Good dark color. Clean, vibrant in rhubarb, cherry and cola flavors. Full-bodied and spicy, as well as very dry. Still tannic, should hang in there for some years.

Another non-commercial bottling. Dark. Opens with lavish layers of cherries, cocoa, brown spices, charcoal. Drinks enormously rich and full-bodied, very forward in cherry and blackberry fruit. Tannins still sturdy. Still young and dramatic, with a sweet Heirloom tomato and balsamic finish.

First commercial bottling from Pisoni. Just as fresh as a new wine, really fruity, with ripe cherry, cocoa, cigar box, anise, cinnamon and pepper notes. Drinks rich and intense. This dry, silky, harmonious wine is just beautiful.

Even better than the ‘98, an elegant, harmonious wine, long in rich, sweet cherry fruit. Great balance and style. Feels supple and smooth, with great acidity. Char and vanilla stand out on the finish. Dazzling now, and should improve and hold for a decade.

Dark. Lovely aromatics of red and black cherry, char, oak. Drinks full-bodied and rich, with some tannins to shed, but not quite the distinction of the ‘99.

Smells porty-rich in white chocolate, fudge, vanilla, smoky char and fruit. Enormously rich, almost decadent flavors of chocolate, cherries, blueberries. So big. Needs time to knit together. Hold until 2008. Earns its points on sheer volume.

Exceptionally fine. Effortlessly combines the impressive power and authority the vineyard is known for with sensual elegance. The flavors of currants, cherries, cola, balsam and clovespice are mouth-watering. Such is the balance of tannins, acids, oak and all other parts that the wine should improve over the next six years, then hold for several more.

Dark and dramatic. This is an enormous wine, superextracted in cherry, blackberry and mocha flavors, but totally dry. Almost Syrah-like, except for the silky tannins. Not particularly nuanced now, but the gamble is on ageability. Drink now and through the decade.

A little awkward, with slightly sweet cherry and medicinal flavors, and over-oaked for its modest frame. Yet there’s refreshing acidity and a lush texture that are likeable.
