August 23, 2023 - The color was quite dark, almost like a port. Wow. The wine was extremely good and quite complex. It had a pleasing nose and a very long finish. A wine I will remember for a long time. One of the best wines of the year. Unfortunately, due to the age, I was afraid to give it 30+ minutes in the decanter before consumption. It only had about 15 minutes in the decanter before we started the meal (lobster served chilled with melted butter).

June 17, 2020 - Bricking red, orangeskin rim, nicely expressive nose with dried cherry, rosehips, leather, eucalyptus. Plus acidity and leads an energetic but suave mouthfeel. Paired great with a creamy pasta dish with herbs and mushrooms.
Ten+ years after my first bottle, and this is much better. Drinking well, and will hold a while. -

May 9, 2017 - I found this bottle leaking a little bit in my cellar, so I opened it. Still seems good, but don't know if its reflective of the avg bottle. Bricky in color. Elegant and complex. Notes of cherries, leather, earth, and flowers.
