  On its decline to my taste but not too far off peak. Funk needs 15 minutes to blow off. Then it's quite ferric, with dark fruit undertones and in pretty good balance

  The wine has settled down since my 8/20/19 note, when it was still pretty rough. The tannins and alcohol are now nicely integrated with the fruit. A nice uncomplicated Bordeaux that held its own against broiled lamb chops.

  Simple but worth the price and probably right around peak. Pretty good acid for a budget level 2015, enough (M-) tannin structure left for eg burgers. M to M+ body.

  Comments from last two reviews are on target. Tannins there but softening.

  This wine has been consistently good, especially at its meager price point. Some minerality and light burning ember scents, a lot of dark merlot fruity goodness. Not a ton of depth or complexity but fun to drink. Very smooth. Oak is integrating well. Alcohol might be a touch high for some, but it was okay for me. Rating: 89+ (some upside potential with a few more years)
