July 29, 2013 - strong cabernet sauvignon. Can wait some more years but it´s already pretty good.

January 13, 2013 - The tannins are a bit high, but this is quite an interesting wine. A little dry with a nice 'dirty' texture. Lots of dark chocolate and cherry. Decent lengthy fruit finish.

November 18, 2011 - I pulled this from my cellar far too early I think. I sense potential however from start to finish the experience was too harsh. I'll try this bottle again in future to be certain of my thinking.

September 18, 2011 - The nose showed intense, spicy blackberry jam, animal musk and coffee notes. On the palate, it was smooth and velvety, yet balanced with wild berries, dark chocolate, and subtle cinnamon. The finish was long and saturating with intense dark chocolate-covered dried cranberry. The tannins slowly melted away on the finish and showed great potential for the future of this wine.
