  November 26, 2015 - I was worried about this still being viable, but the nose is absolutely delicious. Scents of mature strawberry, camphor, and eucalyptus. A kaleidoscope of red fruit flavors. Complex with gracefully aged fruit, oak integration, and eucalyptus. Long finish. And this was $22. Perfect with Thanksgiving dinner.

  January 4, 2010 - Probably past its prime. Blackberries with powdered coco. Orange peal finish. Good, but not what I was expecting.

  December 27, 2009 - I didn't take care of this bottle like it should have been done. Cork broke on opening and found wine to be vinegar. Down the sink it went.

  September 7, 2008 - We let this bottle go a bit past its prime. Even so the fruit while somewhat muted still shined through with a decent balance. While typical black fruits came through, the slightly herbaceous quality through me off a bit.
