  January 12, 2024 - Nice surprise. Very dark in color, not much bricking. Leather and dark plum aromas. Persistent tannins. Medium to full bodied. This will be fine for a few more years. Shining with Rao's tomato sauce and home made eggplant and beef meatballs. And lots of parmigiano...

  December 24, 2019 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, blackberry, cherry, pomegranate, cinnamon and lavender. It tastes like strawberry, blackberry, red currant, prune, cherry, dust, vanilla and black pepper. The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

  February 18, 2019 - It’s not that hard to enjoy this wine. Decant it for 2-3 hours and be rewarded with a nose of cranberry, sweet strawberry and a hint of citrus. Light and capricious on the palate, yet exhibiting broad and deep flavors of fresh red berries. Medium bodied and the fruit and acid are in perfect balance. Very good persistence. The most satisfying of the three bottles opened so far.

  October 24, 2018 - Definite shelter rescue wine here! Long cork came out in excellent shape. Odd buildup of a beige, clay-like sediment coating the inside neck of the bottle 360 degrees. Wiped as much of it away as possible, and decanted before intending to consume with vodka pasta penne. A thick glob of mucous-like beige sediment plopped into the screen; really quite sickening. Poured a tentative tiny pour. Good color purplish garnet, with clearing and perhaps a touched bricked edges. Literally no nose, and a palate of tart red berries, tomato leaf and iron. About a 78-point wine at this point. Thought about grabbing another bottle, but decided to hold off. Retasted 60 minutes later with dinner. Color improved, now emerging nose features red alpine currant, ripe blackberry, raspberry, forest floor, and spices. Twenty minutes later and this was actually becoming quite lush, with growing intensity and concentration, with an admirably long finish. This ended up to be surprisingly satisfying, and a 90/91 point wine. However, still wondering what all the beige coating and soft congealed sediment blob was all about. No ill effects some days later. Clearly on the slippery slope past peak, and rapidly heading toward over-the-hill. Drink these up!
