September 3, 2016 - Wonderful for what it is. 15.5% alcohol. Softened over the hours. Best to decant and wait two hours. Long finish. Rich, ripe fruit. Makes you sit up and take notice of what you are drinking. Best w grilled steak or other powerful flavors. Wish I had more.

June 1, 2014 - This wine took so long to come around I am not sure what to make of it. There is an amarone quality to it that is just plain weird, almost raisiny in context. The wine started to come around after about four days, but still had this sweet quality to it. Not sure if that was going to burn off. Ultimately, I liked it, but not sure why.
