3/18/2022 - JHwineDrkr Likes this wine: 86 pointsCork was showing signs of failure, cork disintegrated on attempting to pull. Noise is dark fruit forward with a sweetness. On the palette the the black cherry is on point at the beginning. The wine is smooth and silky, easy to drink no harshness. The backend is tabacco and a sour apple yet pleasurable. |

1/5/2020 - robmatic wrote: NRWas expecting the worst, but this wine was surprisingly fresh. Whatever tannins it had are now fully resolved, leaving a nice firm backbone for the weakening fruit. Acidity is a little soft, but it's enough. Nice little spice on the finish. Most enjoyable wine, but obviously, try to drink this a few years ago. |

11/29/2019 - Château de Farmer Likes this wine: 86 pointsKind of a mixed bag on reviews of this. Definitely changed rapidly after decanting (for the better). Diet Cola flavors blew off to a more delicate fruit, licorice, and earth complexion. Enjoyed but not savored. |

1/31/2019 - tgolden1983 Likes this wine: 93 pointsWine looked a little sketchy when the bottle was first opened, but after a nice decant, it drinks beautifully and returns to full life and color. This wine is definitely not a "drink by 2015" wine as was previously noted. |

7/5/2017 - WineGuyX Likes this wine: 88 pointsShort, spongy cork, but this has held up better than I expected. Faint aromas of black currant and oak as well as spice. Medium-bodied and very smooth. Delicious, if a little tired. This was probably better a few years ago, but the texture is pure silk with just enough tannin and acidity to stand up to a ribeye. 88 |

9/17/2016 - FBailey Likes this wine: 91 pointsWell balanced, no tanin, berries cassis, bergamot, mineral, no earthiness, light bouquet; seems like aging will not improve more, and may loose fruit; fruit fades some after 30 minutes in glass. |
