This wine is very tight and non expressive and muted even after tasting thru a 3 hour decant…Give this one few more years and revisit..This wine should evolve for quit some time go forward

6/9/2014 - Cyrus of the Valley Does not like this wine:

tight, dominated by alcohol, no fruit expression, astringent, unpleasant, unrefined... this was like drinking rubbing alcohol

boring....past its prime, flat

decanted for 30 minutes only to get extremely non vibrant fruit some tobacco and a hint of disappointment....decanted another 2 hours and this lady woke up to express its blackberry and plum fruit character. Overall I would drink this alone without food... Open it up then play a round of golf and 5 hours later should be approachable as you relax on the couch watching the last several holes on the golf channel

decanted for 2 hours, cherry on the nose lacked a good finish Faded out towards end

8/13/2012 - Cyrus of the Valley Likes this wine:

wine opens elegantly with hints of raspberry and coffee and the fruit pops in the middle ending in a refined finish with medium tannins

8/6/2012 - Cyrus of the Valley Likes this wine:

taste of loganberry at the start with rush of fruit that "pops" in your mouth, with somewhat abrupt yet crisp finish

8/5/2012 - Cyrus of the Valley Likes this wine:

nice middle with long, lingering finish
paired well with roasted whole chicken
