October 4, 2019 - Decanted for about an hour. Nose of black fruit some anise and nutmeg with a woodsy must. This wine has softened with a faded violet color. Tannins have softened considerably with soft black fruit and herbal flavors. Drink now if you still have it.

March 16, 2015 - Big, dark and monolithic and still very tannic. Fruit is present but softening, but I'm not sure this will ever emerge as anything other than a dark bruiser of a wine. While not elegant or "charming" this is still quite palatable and would be enjoyable with a fatty piece of red meat (ribeye or rack of lamb)....

May 24, 2011 - On the nose: Dark fruit, earthy funk, some faint anise, definitely forest like with the bark/wood/dirt/plants, etc.
On the Palette: Good balanced acid and tannins. Not as big and thick as I was expecting, but more of a delicate mouth feel play. Definitely intriguing that it defied expectations. Solid dark berry fruit, hints of tarragon(not sure why I got this), faint dark cherry, blue berry. -

April 13, 2011 - Very fresh tree bark, herbs (including the illicit kind), and gasoline nose. Lovely, surprisingly delicate interplay between buoyant freshness and deep sweetness in the mouth, with the sneakiest of tannins . This has both distinctiveness and breed.

August 28, 2009 - Dark, dense and tannic, with rich blackberry and blueberry fruit, some roasted espresso bean, and an herbalicious (Aglianico-like) and licorice component. Very good now, but with its huge structure, definitely one for the future.
