    August 22, 2023 - Golden hue. Cherry. Light. Tannins seem off. Overall tasted thin & was underwhelmed with the flavor profile here.

    June 24, 2023 - The look showed its age with some amber glow around the edges. It was very fragrant with a lighter bodied taste initially. Decanted for about an hour and opened up very nicely.

    October 22, 2021 - Very delicious. Medium dryness that got drier with more air. Have an hour in decanter, rebottled and took to dinner where we both had lamb. Went amazingly with lamb. Wasn’t too fruity. Had mellowed out over the years. Yum

    May 2, 2021 - A little thin. Most likely past its prime, but still good.

    December 27, 2020 - I loved this wine. It was paired with a ginger salmon and asparagus. This wine was a surprise to me. It made me renew my frogs leap membership.
