May 16, 2016 - Great wine. Much better than the '07. Juicy black raspberry, pepper, tar, smoke and olive tapenade. Needs about an hour to open. Deep, complex and a bargain at $25. Great QPR. Could cellar for years yet. Drink or hold.

September 12, 2014 - Very good methinks - meaty, chewy, smoky, bunker in Syrah. Based on the average reviews I was expecting less. This still has another several years in it, but it's another BD success.
