September 7, 2019 - The day finally came where I had to drink this winemaker autographed bottle (now deceased). RAR visiting!
Dark burgundy In color. Full bodied.
Lots of dark fruit on the nose. Blackberries. Some eucalyptus. Cigar box.
Silky smooth. Dry. Tons of dark fruit. Black pepper. Leather. Medium plus finish. High ABV. Still big and bold. What a wonderful bottle.
Magnums are better!

August 2, 2018 - It's not often one can open a 6.0L bottle, and this was thoroughly enjoyable. Berries, toast, spice, earth. Silky (if earthy can be silky), with a long finish. Excellent blend. Would likely developed nicely for a few more years in such a big bottle.

October 1, 2015 - Medium deep ruby/maroon - nose is deep and dark, everything is in the key of black, but not as bad as that sounds - it is dark, but remains delineated, and fruits, ablbethem roasted, rise above the din- palate is smooth, deep, rich as the nose would have you, but there is a surprising amount of energy, and a medium body, that really draw you in and makes for a nice glass - a great wine for a nice steak (which we did), this has excellent power and energy, a combination often sorely lacking in New World wine - Bravo!
