2/14/2024 - MLR Likes this wine: 91 pointsWhat a great wine. The full integration of the tannins brings this wine to a full maturity with deep fruit and aromas of black cherries and some forest floor. Right cherry and cinnamon that last a nice long time in the mouth. Medium mouth weight. Fantastic. |

1/13/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill deep in color. Black cherries, blackberries, licorice, mint and hints of spice in the nose. Black cherries, blueberries and blackberries with notes of minerality in the flavor. A big rich wine, well balanced, medium to full bodied and a medium to long finish. |

11/17/2023 - Border Boss Likes this wine: 92 pointsDouble decanted three hours before service. Deep opaque red with no noticeable color loss. Slight fruit on the nose. The palate has a lot of black fruits with some alcohol heat still showing. Overall, an excellent wine with at least 10 years of good drinking life ahead of it. Buy more if you can. |

9/3/2023 - MLR Likes this wine: 90 pointsTasting note of 2022 remains relevant. The tannins are much more mellow and fully integrated. Definitely in its final years but still a beautiful wine. |

9/3/2023 - Border Boss Likes this wine: 93 pointsServed one hour after decanting. Opaque purple with a clearing rim. On the palate, a pretty strong alcohol heat that calmed down in the glass. Lots of red fruit. Tannins and acid are still very prevalent but in good balance. Really smooth drinking. Paired really well with steak. |

8/6/2023 - juffer Likes this wine: 91 pointsBrambly black currant, cedar, prune all in the ripe but complex nose. Refreshingly lighter and more elegant in the palate than was expecting. Good firm finish, with plenty of acids and tannins, both from the wood and grape. Still a bit primal. Excellent, but believe this actually needs to sit in the class for a bit to hopefully integrate the somewhat disjointed finish a bit better. |

7/29/2023 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrinking very well right now. Lots of black and blue fruits in the nose and flavor with chocolate and just a hint of spice on the finish. Medium to full bodied, nice structure and acidity, well balanced and a long smooth finish. |

1/26/2023 - Senso-beak wrote: 92 pointsOpened and poured on a snowy evening. Very dark with mild bricking on the rim. Very red and cherry forward. Acidic tart and bright cherry notes on the nose and palate. Also some dark blueberry/blackberry on the nose, with some mild secondaries kicking-in....leather, anise. Full bodied but not too heavy, plenty of acids to keep it lively. Comparing to my last note nearly 10 years ago, this has evolved quite well and mellowed out in a positive trajectory. Very cherry, and very nice for 22 years in bottle indeed. A steal at $20 this wine today could cost $100+ |

1/9/2023 - ginfizz wrote: 95 pointsFinally. Dark purple tinged red to the edge. Indian spices, blackberry, candle wax on the nose. Closed hard. In a half hour, open, rich, big flavors of smoke, blackberry, boysenberry, balanced...swims across the palate in a blanket of berry flavors with spice nuances to add interest. Medium to long finish keeps the dream alive. A triumph 20 years in the making. Cries out for steak or grilled dishes. I can't explain the previous bottles other than possible variation. |

10/17/2022 - ginfizz wrote: 94 pointsMaturing gracefully, an elegant version of Petite Syrah and totally lithe on the palate. Nose goes on and on with black and red fruits, palate medium bodied, elegant finish. Continues to flesh out with air but always with a light (for petite) touch. Magnificent. |
