  March 23, 2016 - Nose of cherry, tobacco, bright red fruit
  Palate is very smooth, rich to the end
  Sweet tobacco, secondary flavors with some good fruit mixed in
  Drinking at peak in my opinion.
  Would buy again

  November 1, 2015 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, plum and black currant (cassis). It tastes like cherry and plum. The body is medium/full. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  September 28, 2015 - This tasted like a different wine than I remember it from 2+ years ago. (Would have put it at 91 then.) Back then it had pleasant vanilla cream notes that paired well with its enjoyable Merlot-ness. That isn't my general preference wine these days, but on occasion I still enjoy that style. Back then it was also well-balanced, but on night 1 now the cream notes were gone and oddly it tasted a little disjointed and on some sips had a touch of heat. Unexpectedly, on night 2 a nice balance emerged and it was better overall, a point about which my wife concurred. 87 for second night.
