  May 3, 2024 - A big fruity and heavy wine with flavors that are smooth and supple. Heavy blackberry and moderate oak with a fine tannin that is well integrated. The wine was very tenacious after opening. I had the chance to have a taste a day after and 3 days afte opening; The wine held up well and maintained a full flavored taste without showing any significant oxidation.

  September 3, 2023 - It’s fine. I was hoping some air would coax something interesting out of it, but it just stayed straight in the middle of the road. Ok. Part if a previously purchased mystery case, that now makes sense…

  June 26, 2023 - A little dusty on the nose, herbal, midweight on the palate - I kind of assumed it would be big and fleshy given the over large bottle, but it wasn’t at all. Interesting, if unlikely to age too much longer

  March 18, 2023 - 2014 Von Strasser Reserve: pleasant nose, dark fruit but not very complex. Tannins have virtually disappeared leaving super soft blueberry and blackberry, pine and mint notes. Short finish and overall pretty one dimensional. It’s good and, never having this wine before, I’d say it’s probably peaking and should be opened now. I expected way more out of this. Glad I didn’t open with company. Probably wouldn’t buy again but I’d be willing to try the Cabernet.

  March 5, 2023 - Rather one dimensional. Straightforward fruit and no tertiary flavors. Not a bad wine but lacks character for the price.
