February 15, 2015 - It needed a full 24 hrs of time to open up.
November 30, 2014 - Very nice, - better still on the second day.
August 6, 2011 - Especially for the price, I thought this was excellent. COncentrated but not flabby or overdone, but still a little young and primary. Finish is fairly long but the tannins are still a bit sharp. Some pencil shavings on the nose along with plum.
November 15, 2010 - Dark Ruby, some unripe fruit on the nose. Very hot, probably could do with a longer decant to burn off some of the Alcohol. Tannins are smooth and integrated
March 23, 2010 - same as previous note....
January 31, 2010 - A very nice wine enjoyed by a roaring fire on a bitter cold evening....lovely fruit nose and taste touches of berry, oak, and licorice with a very smooth silky finish....
