Very good. Drink now....really smoothed out over time and bold fruit forward typical with this producer wasn’t as lasting on the palate. Good, but have rated this wine higher in the past.

In a good spot right now but feels like the structure around the fruit is giving way. I think this is ask risk of getting flabby in the next 3 years. At the end of its drinking window. Still good dark berry fruits, silky on the palate with a 15 second finish.

I had this with a cheese & cracker plate on 2/12/16. It had a fragrant bouquet of black cherry, plum, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe, soft and dry with flavors of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, vanilla, cocoa and spice.

Perfect now. Tannins have fallen off and there is still a lot of structure. Medium finish.

Still a very nice bottle. Not a lot of depth. Muted cherry and berries. No loos of color and still a deep ruby red.

Awesome. A little sediment, deep color, fruit forward. Can’t imagine it getting much better than drinking now

Very tight and reticent. This wine has huge potential but needs a lot of time to come together, I would love to try again in 5 years or more.
