September 20, 2023 - Very good
March 7, 2022 - Pretty good, a little jammy.
February 5, 2022 - Good solid classic claret. Nicely balanced. Dry in a good way and enough fruit and structure to hold and wait for more secondary characteristics.
February 3, 2022 - One hour airing before drinking. Medium crimson with some opacity. Pencil box, bitter cherry, alcohol nose. Raspberry, cherry, leather, graphite. Nice pairing with ribeye and roasted vegetables. Great drinking window right now. Slight lack of finish. Ei liked.
October 19, 2021 - Great bargain here. Remarkably full bodied for a budget wine. Loads of dark fruit and pepper -- quite interesting. A touch of sourness I could do without, but I'll let that slide at this price point. Still a bit tannic so probably had a few more years in it at least.
July 18, 2021 - Ok, thin, past peak, fruity
April 17, 2021 - Had hoped for more based on some previous reviews. Sadly, the best moments were immediately after popping it open. Went south quickly. Hopefully it was just my bottle. I'd pass if on it if it comes up again.
May 21, 2020 - Peppery.
April 12, 2020 - Silky smooth like a polished rock with black cherry and blueberry and a long focused finish. Yummy now and over the next couple of years.
April 7, 2020 - PnP. First taste to fruity. Was worried it was well past its peak. Still alive! It quickly settled into black fruit with right bank graphite. Delicious.
