Pop & pour, tasted 2 glasses over 60 minutes with the bottle open on the counter. Not a great bottle. Still plenty of fruit, but the body has gotten a bit flabby. Not in a great place right now.

Crimson color with the slightest hint of bricking at the edges. Liked this right off the pop. Nose of eucalyptus, cedar, and dark red fruits. Plum, cassis, and oak spice on the palate, with medium finish and acidity. There's a delicious factor here and it's drinking well now. I like it. Paired well with steak kabobs. No sediment/decant needed IMO.

Deep, luscious and dark this wine is drinking beautifully. Cassis flavors with great body and medium finish showing no harsh tannins. Drank my 3 remaining bottles for a dinner party after 2 hr decant.

Last bottle and drinking well. Pretty consistent with 2013 note, and I don't really see more upside here, so pop, pour, and enjoy!

Good at the price of $20/btl. Not a ton of depth. Short finish but good fruit.
