We took this to a dinner for 6 and it impressed once again. The nose and flavors coming off of this wine seem to be infinite. Quite impressive to say the least.

This is very consistent with previous bottles I opened. Everyone that's had it at our house has loved it. We had a good reaction from 2 that were younger than the wine. It's not often you can serve a 90+ wine to people younger than the wine for $10 a bottle! We could all use more deals like this.

Fantastic again. Amazing flavors of caramel, spices, coffee, butterscotch. Acidity is still there. The longest finish I have ever tasted. I love this wine. tastes young and vibrant.

There is so much going on here it is hard to describe. Spice, caramel, baked apple, cinnamon, coffee, a little cocoa, peach and tangerine. I'm sure I missed something. Mouthfeel is smooth and luxurious. Balanced acidity that makes this feel lively. Very long dry finish. An amazing wine that still has a long life to live. ($10)

Smooth, full bodied and luscious with a lot of nutty flavors, baked apple pie, some dried fruits-orange and apricot maybe. Low on acidity although I'm not sure this kind of wine needs it. Very similiar to a port, even a tawny or ruby port. Not that impressed as others but I like this for a winter night sipper.

Still drinking well with no noticeable change since the last bottle. Had with my parents, Sean and Phoebe.

I forgot how good this is. Sweet caramel, cinnamon, baking spices. Full bodied and ultra smooth. Drink between now and forever.

Same as before. This is a Grenache Noir, should be listed here as a white no red, right?

Cherry cough syrup flavors, caramel. Maple syrup nose. Kind of thin consistency. Fun stuff. Our bottle was open for about a month.

Served chilled after Thanksging dinner, the nose was almost like a good tawny port, caramel, nuts, spice. The finish was long and smooth.

Outstanding. Caramel, dried dates and figs, nuts. Very reminiscent of a good Madeira, though with less acidity.

No formal note. Served slightly chilled. Outstanding. Will continue to do well for some time to come.
