February 4, 2024 - Didn’t age nicely, unfortunately. Dark, dark fruits and some unappealing tertiary notes that suggest over extraction and a shortened lifespan as a result.

December 19, 2017 - Beautifully balanced, no sharp edges but has an exotic elegance to it, hints of cherry, spice and herbs on the palate to complement a similar but subdued nose.

February 27, 2016 - We really liked this wine. Terrific nose, very nice fruit and complexity on the palate, soft finish. Worth the price of admission.
