November 3, 2018 - Decanted for 90 minutes prior to drinking, some sediment on the side of the bottle. Very nice Bordeaux-style blend. Flavorful and smooth. Drinking well now.

January 23, 2013 - One of the best predominately Cab-Merlot blends every tasted. Still plenty of aging left but we had to see where this one was and were pleasantly surprised - very drinkable and improved over 2 days.
