April 27, 2018 - Good for 3 nights. Best the second, but good all three.
Smooth black berry flavors. Back palate tannins even on the third night.
Tasty wine though not a lot of depth. Perfectly drinkable still if stored properly. -

November 10, 2017 - Black fruit is still first chair. Assigns spice and dusty tannins play a good part of the flavor profile. Not the most complex wine I have ever had, but still enjoyable to drink. This is getting near the end of the drinking window.

February 9, 2016 - Tasted blind. Bright ruby red color turning crimson at the rim with a transparent edge. It has an attractive nose of earth, smoke, black and red currants, tobacco, and meat. The palate is full-bodied but displays a delicate balance and texture. The aforementioned flavors are consistent all throughout. Finishes with nice, fleshy, refined tannin with a hint of spice. Drink now until 2023. 90+
