  Wine completely brown & spoiled. My first bottle didn’t taste great either leading me to suspect maltreatment somewhere in the marketing or transportation phase.

  Deep ruby color with dark fruit on the nose and palate. The tannins are noticeable on the mid palate but are well integrated.Drank over 2 nights and it was slightly better on the second night indicating it has some time to go.

  Interesting looking at the other TNs. This was a lovely medium bodied wine getting near the end of its drinking window, but still vibrant. Lots of ripe cherry and strawberry but mixed in with earth, and a little leather. Very open. The tannins are mostly integrated and a medium finish. Great with the pork tenderloin.

  Still tight, primary, a bit tannic. Some nice aromatics over time of pine, menthol and spice. Seems like it needs 5 more years to unfold. Or it just might never really improve much; hard to say at this point. Rating: 89+

  Tasted after a 45 minute decant.
  Medium ruby in colour with a distinct garnet hue and somewhat restrained aromas of earthy minerality.
  On the palate, medium bodied red fruit, dried strawberry, dried red cherry, slightly herbal, a dusty minerality, medium acidity, medium soft tannins & a long finish to black pepper.
  The acidity balances the tannins, seems a little lacking in fruit, but a definite expression of minerality & terroir.
  Not sure if this needed to be consumed younger, or if it needs more cellar time?
