March 25, 2022 - Obviously on the downslope, but still one of my favorites. 1hr decant; a tad hot at first but that dark fruit, long finish has me hooked.
If only rating it highly could will more of it into existence. -

March 21, 2020 - Perhaps a bit on the decline--seemed a bit unfocused, but still lots of big dark berry fruit and spice and length.

July 22, 2017 - Great fruit and good balanced acidity. Surprised to see how well this wine has held up- I believe it's actually better than our previous bottle from three years ago. Paired perfectly with our fruit plate of assorted berries.

October 2, 2015 - This bottle didn't age as gracefully as the one I had 2 months ago. Still good, but a bit stewed and perhaps getting a little over the hill.

August 7, 2015 - Absolutely amazing! Age has been good to this wine. It's dark, rich, fruit forward but not jammy, complex, and has a long, long finish.
