Oak, spices, lemon and minerals. Medium finish. The oak is not fully integrated and this wine should go a few more years. Drink now to 2017.

Very light in color and body. Cranberry, earth and subtle spices. Thin on the palate and short finish. For the price a pass.

Strawberries, spices, minerals and blueberries. Nice combination of fruit and secondary character. Medium finish. Drink now.

Overripe offering with Carmel, spices and wafer. Not real balanced but drinkable. Too expensive for the quality.

Young and needs some time. Oak dominated and tannic. Some fruit is trying to emerge but maybe in five years one would revisit this wine.

Funk, leather and earth. Chewy tannins and a little herbal on the finish. In a good spot right now but could age a few more years.

Dried fruits, perfume and spices. Medium finish and on its last leg. Does not have the concentration and tannins to go another five years.

Wood, red fruits, forest floor and earth. Medium plus finish. Should age a few more years.

Very ripe and bold. Floral, blackberries and plums. Big wine.

My second favorite wine of the night. Spices, jam, coffee and floral notes. Complex and long finish. Should age another five to ten years. Solid wine.

Last bottle and showed really well. My wine of the night. Dark in color and amazing balance to this wine. Blueberries, spices, cherries and earth. Medium plus finish and great concentration. One of the best under $25 wines I have ever purchased.

Not showing as well as previous bottles. Light fruits, spices and minerals. Will revisit on day 2 to see if there is any improvement.

Day 2 review. More concentrated and showing darker fruits such as blueberries, black cherries and blackberries. Medium plus finish and balanced. Exotic spices on the finish. Hold for a few years or heavy decant. 91 plus

This is not doing anything to help me like pride. Spices, medicinal and earth. While some Rhone characters appear there it lacks structure.
