  April 9, 2017 - Better than the last bottle. Still modernish, but with classic tar and shoe polish notes on top of the rich fruit. Hung on for two days, but i'd drink up now.

  February 10, 2017 - No formal notes. Good at first - some modern orientation and wood notes, then quickly falling apart the next evening. Drink up.

  November 2, 2015 - One of the best bottles we've tasted this year. We could not believe how fresh this wine tasted. Spices and perfumes intermixed with leather and earth on the nose for an intriguing tease. On the palate, this exhibited strength and beauty by delivering a fresh basket of berries along with middle eastern spices, leather and flowery perfumes. The balance and integration were spot on giving this wine both focus and length.
