  December 6, 2019 - From a 500ml bottle. This is ina great spot right now. Rich fruit aromatics with baking spice, strawberry, and plum. On the palette more of the same with ripe blackberry added to the strawberry. Creamy and worth finding.

  February 5, 2019 - Very dark red black color, opened 2 hours before dinner which opened up the aromas, ripe luscious blackberry and dark cherry fruit with some earthiness, very smooth mouthfeel with a long smooth finish. Great with some braised lamb shanks.

  January 5, 2019 - Last bottle from a few bought at auction, 500ml bottle. PnP, drank over 90 minutes
  
  From prior notes:"rich purple color. Nose of dark cherry, blackberries, toasted oak. Fruit forward palate of red fruits, strawberry jam, spices, cedar. Really rich and expressive, was great with rich/spicy food..."
  
  Picked up a bit more earth along with the dark cherry on the nose this time. Wine has a sweetness to it through the mid palate, cherry cola and blackberry. Medium weight, long finish. When first opened it was a bit tight, the air time helped, it was really open about 30 minutes in. Still holding up, but would drink sooner rather than later

  November 12, 2016 - Bought this at auction a few years back. Opened to have with my "famous" meatballs. Decanted for about 30 minutes and drank over an hour. 500 ml bottle, they must have wanted to stretch the distribution of this unique offering from Pride.
  
  Rich purple color. Nose of dark cherry, blackberries, toasted oak. Fruit forward palate of red fruits, strawberry jam, spices, cedar. Really rich and expressive, was great with rich/spicy food. Really opened after about an hour, decant helped. In a great spot now, would drink in next 3-5 years.
