| | Tasted by David J Cooper on 12/28/2009: Dark as a starless night. Sweet monolithic black fruit. Maybe a hint of coffee as well but not much happening other then the dark fruit in the nose. Extremely tight and tannic. I'm not sure this will change for at least a decade or two. (55 views) |

| | Tasted by vinole on 7/2/2009 & rated 92 points: Bigger fruit and body than I expected with fairly low acidity. The ripeness gave a long finish that had a hint of sweetness and some sediment. Very enjoyable wine, that tasted like a lush, modern style Brunello with a little extra firmness from the 20% or so cab content. (256 views) |

| | Tasted by mburke on 1/1/2008: Nice wine, ripe fruit somewhat international in style but with some nice complexity and well integrated tannins and acidity. Drinking pretty nicely. (503 views) |

| | Tasted by Employee500 on 9/6/2006 & rated 84 points: Clearly this was either an off bottle, or in some terrible closed down phase. Awkward with obvious oak and vanilla, but no identifiable fruitiness. Thick and disjointed, something like an Australian Shiraz stripped of its fruit...
