I think the best wine they make. Pop and go slow as this gains strength. Smooth as can be and great with food over a 2 hour dinner

opened at 2:30 and left in bottle and started to drink at 5:30. just wonderful and better than i expected not that i should doubt Torrin. not one to speak of tasting this and that, but i go for aftertaste and smoothness and if good with food. to me no negative after taste, as easy to drink as can be and does enhance the food i am eating (tomatoes and burrata) i find the 2016 Paso's really doing well right now and this will not disappoint. how much longer it has I leave to the experts but i will try one a year for the next 4 years and then i will be out of stock

DRANK 1/2 LAST NIGHT AND THEN my wife gave up her tequilla and finished the rest. frankly it was great. finding the 2016's from Paso ready to go and truly performing now. don't know enough about wine to say it will improve or at what rate it will decline, but i would not hesitate to drink this if you have it. i have more and likely will drink 2 a year for a couple years and try to learn.

The ratings are right. Wonderful smooth ready. Give it some air. I am finding Paso 16’s to be very approachable right now. Time not running out nor any decline but most are impressing

OPENED and let sit for 2 hours then hooray. in balance, smooth, no after taste negative, with a long finish. well done. will wait to have another but glad i tried one of my 3. get's better and better in the glass. when my wife gives up her tequilla and wants more of this, after 49 years together it is a solid bet this is an excellent bottle of wine

Law with some age is just wonderful. while it is hard to hold for so long, their wine just performs magnificently with some time. for my Wife to say this is good (a tequila fan) says a lot as I know her tastes for 50 years. can it get better? who knows but it's in top form right now. drink up! it really is a 96 or 97.

WHILE NOT a zin fan this bottle was a gift and to my surprise delightful and ready. smooth from the get-go and of course not big but not a typical zin either. maybe I need to open my horizons but there is only so much life left, and I likely will stick with my Paso favorites.

NOW 1 LEFT but so so good. 30 minutes air from decant and ready. i am so grateful to Saxum for their quality and opening me up to what wine should be. notes from others led me to Andremily and to Seduire so Saxum is a gift that keeps on giving.

THIS was the first of my three and of course hard to believe the great ratings, but no longer. this is magnificent and loved by all my guests. I learned of the winery by reading Saxum notes from others so a thank you to Saxum. check out Seduire. i will buy every bottle Andremily offers me in their club. it is what wine should be. in balance, smooth, no aftertaste, and just GREAT

GOOD for sure, but not great. had the 2018 insolent last night and that was great so I thought I would try another that i had not tried. how we learn. don't get me wrong, this is a nice bottle but when i compare it does not measure up to the other...........in a year i will try the 2019 and if i feel the same i will put my bucks into the insolent

read the last note and said I better try one of the 8 I have. It is nearly pop and pour and quite good right now. I though am not able to speak "wine" so well nor tell how much time is left. I leave that to others. but I can say this vintage is very good right now. wait for it to get better.......why? I likely will drink one every 6 months and learn provided I can remember. the joys of being 75

2 left after tonight, feel the same as before. My son says “this is really good”. Once you have wine this good one gets skewed. I remain so grateful to Saxum for their support for 15 years and for opening up my palette few can compare
