May 4, 2020 - Cherry, earthy and a little cheese in the nose. Soft, attractive, simple and clean in the mouth. Probably near its peak, given the fleeting finish.

December 25, 2017 - Loved this wine. Brick red with aromas and tastes of black cherry, vanilla and a hint of spice. Very smooth with a medium finish.

November 23, 2017 - Served to the family by Lori and Vinny T. at their Thanksgiving table. Had a glass full from each of two bottles. Notes similar to last year. Wine is not showing much fruit or aroma on the nose as well as he palate. In addition, although the dolor remains vibrant there is now an oxidative quality. Anyone holding this wine in their cellar should drink up and hope for the best.
