6/15/2022 - Lars Bars Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep and earthy. My score may be affected by the food I paired it with, which was not the best selection (homemade wood fired pizza). I think this would be better with a steak or something gamier like lamb or pheasant. |

6/3/2022 - Lars Bars Likes this wine: 93 pointsPunched above its weight. Opened this and immediately felt it could open up some more. Decanted for 30 minutes and felt it was much better and showing fruit-forward characteristics. Continued to drink over the next few hours and it evolved in that time. Felt like the terroir was more present after an hour and continued to see added depth in flavor. Given that most owners seemed to have consumed this already I thought I might have missed the boat. Nope! Drink now if you can, it's excellent |

7/27/2020 - Lars Bars Likes this wine: 97 pointsDrinking really well now. Tropical fruits, sweet without being cloying, the mouthfeel is luxurious and finishes dry. I’m looking for more and curious to try other vintages. |

1/15/2020 - Lars Bars Likes this wine: 94 pointsDrank this as a magnum with family. Still drinking very well and was a hit with everyone, including me. Time in the bottle has helped give it depth and complexity, and it was much better in 2020 than it was in 2014. |
