  March 25, 2023 - Wow! I expected this to be going downhill but this is the best Delectus that I've had in a while. No browning with vibrant color. Soft tannins with cherries and spice cabinet nose. Wish this wasn't my last.

  February 6, 2018 - Outstanding, integrated tannins, still good fruit, would consider drinking what you have left though. In a lovely place.

  June 29, 2012 - This is drinking at its peak!!! Notes of chocolate, leather, and dried berry.... This was compared with a 2009 Delectus Bear Crossing and it blew the 2009 out of the water.... I would rate this one of my top 5 wines...

  January 22, 2012 - Enjoyed, softer than high powered Delectus style which my tastebuds no longer prefer, but some of the tart high alcohol still present. I think I like these Delectus bottles better when aged and leathery. Salad, cheese, bread accompanied.

  July 29, 2011 - Nice, mature wine, drinking at it's apex now, It's great to taste the age on this wine...it's showing a fruity oak
  flavor, with lots of structure, and a raspy finish. Begins with a nice oak barrel aroma, and then douses your palate
  in red fruit velvet.
