November 6, 2015 - Pretty darn good for it's age - still garnet in colour with a nose of prunes; good depth of flavour - some complexity with a smooth medium length finish. Drink now

January 27, 2012 - Nice wine with a distinct monastrell flavor profile of slightly piney dark fruit and tobacco. Dry and savory finish, somewhat short. Went well with an unusual cheese made of cheddar and chocolate. Wine throws some fine grained sediment, drink in the near term.

February 2, 2011 - Still tightly wound, with bitter chocolate and tree bark aromas, palate is somewhat astringent and tannic. Some fruit peeks out at the end.
