December 10, 2022 - still strong dark fruit and tons of structure. A bit rough until open for two hours and then it sang. Great example of how well-cellared wine can last much longer than the traditional drinking window.

December 6, 2010 - Good table wine, nice soft body. Some acidity but not overwhelming. Very soft tannins and a nice dark cherry color.

September 18, 2010 - Decanted ~4hrs. Not bad stuff. Black cherry color, fairly light in body, but still has a good amount of structure. Lots of tart fruit, and extremely peppery. Definitely tastes young - I'd say will be much better in a couple years. About on par with a good CDR, and priced about the same.
