  March 6, 2013 - ChTR kokous 06.03.2013 (SKO-toimisto): Decanted, tasted double blind. This was quite a dark red wine with perhaps a hint of browning on the edges. The nose was quite pleasant with rasberry, blackberry and a hint of smoke, some licorice after some aritime. The palate was easy, not much tannins, dark berries, quite acidic. A nice enough wine, no faults, quaffable.

  January 3, 2010 - Great blackberry fruit, smoke, plum, and dark cherry. Full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling.

  December 14, 2009 - Another great vintage from Cycles. This is punchy out of the gate with rich, rip blackberries. Easy drinker.

  August 17, 2009 - Another solid bottle, if not as impressive for the money as before. Plenty of blackberry, but fairly monolithic, and even a little tart in the mouth.
