  June 14, 2014 - Restaurant pop and pour- used a Vinturi instant decant. Deep color lightening at edges. Very pretty classic notes on the bouquet- smoked bacon, dried lavender, sage, violets, blackberry. Expressive on the palate with nicely open and juicy fruit notes and depth of flavor. It picked up mid-palate weight with air, but was ultimately lacking the overall density to take this from good to special. Fine polished tannins, mouthwatering acid, medium finish.

  October 15, 2013 - Tuesday Night Double Blind $40+ (Bin 75): Dark and dense; dark red fruit, sweet, ripe...very ripe, slight VA, sandalwood; dried fruit on the palate, seems like Grenache, fig, rustic, sweet, sandalwood, no pepper; good but not what I expected, really seemed like something else in a very hot year.

  October 10, 2013 - Floral nose, similar to 2010. Much more matured in the mouth, lest fruit, more minerality and herbaceousness. Still plenty of tannin. Chewy. Very nice.
