July 24, 2021 - No worries that this is from Costco... this is a fantastic wine! Aroma of barnyard, olive brine and dark fruit. Flavors of fresh cigar tobacco. Medium body, smooth and elegant. Finishes with fresh tobacco, brown sugar and dark cherry candy wrapped in balancing tannin. Wonderful.

May 20, 2020 - Medium ruby. Cherry, raspberry, rosemary and white pepper. Intense fruit along with pronounced spice. Fine tannins, good persistence and finishes slightly hot.

From 2014
Still very tannic from the bottle, and finishes with a powerful cassis finish. Good structure and body. I would lay this down for a couple more years
From 2018
Ripe red fruit, fresh leather, licorice and baking spice (clove?) in the nose. Medium body, but “dense” flavor a of cassis syrup, black licorice, damp cellar, mulch and fresh tobacco. Long finish of cassis and leather. Wow.
From 2019
This is fantastic after a few years of age. Aroma of barnyard, olive brine and dark fruit. Flavor of fresh cigar tobacco. Medium body, smooth and elegant. Finishes with fresh tobacco, brown sugar and dark cherry candy. Wonderful.1 person found this helpful Comments (2) -
