August 19, 2017 - Balanced acidity, mature dark fruits, new leather, a bit dusty but fine grained tannins.
This is at its peak right now. Really useful wine with food for an okey amount of money -

October 20, 2016 - Jammy, hint of cocoa and rosehip, medium to low tannins, pretty drinkable now but not too complex.

September 25, 2016 - A little bit of orange tint in the red. Pomegranate, earth, and spice nose. Medium bodied, loaded with pepper and spices, dark cherries, soft woody tannins, strawberry jam, and slightly hot medium length finish. Tasty, but it feels kind of over-manipulated.

August 24, 2016 - Spice and spice and spice
I appreciate this a lot more accompanying vibrant vegetables.... Long finish, feels as if it has a few years to go -

Nose redolent of spice and hints of oak
fresh acidity on palate
Good value, although not a great example of the merits of using both American and French oak (admittedly "old" per the bottle notes)
