  November 25, 2016 - Nose comes across with herbs, anise, vermouth, stewed black cherry
  Palate was a little confounding to piece together, picked up mocha, vanilla, fresh green redwood/conifer branches, oily burnt wood
  Interesting direction, but would expect far more at $75 USD. Good.

  November 5, 2016 - Very light ruby in color. Tannic notes but fruit is mellow. Would pair nicely with fish.

  February 21, 2016 - Color is ruby red (great transparency). Nose is earthy, but tannic as it is a young wine. Flavor profile is light. Finish is pleasant with trace plum flavor. Very earthy wine. Not South American wine earthy, but a fruit earthiness.

  January 18, 2016 - This bottle was flawed. I have hence updated this review as I was lucky enough to be able to taste this again.

  This was terrible. One of the worst bottles of wine I have ever tasted. This bottle retails upwards $70/bottle.
  
  It is very light and tastes as if I am chewing on a piece of grass possibly used as a toilet for a local dog. This does not get better in the decanter and actually perpetuated the spur lemon grass taste.
