October 8, 2023 - A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A smooth medium to full bodied red, black cherry, plum, some smoke and spice on finish, drink now. www.winelx.com

April 30, 2021 - Decanted and enjoyed over 3 hours. Not sure if this has peaked, but it is damn good where it is at today.
Rich, earth nose with violet/lilac overtones. Really smooth and integrated on the palate. Purple fruit with a little tartness (and acidity)... Fine grain tannins support a medium to long finish. Not overly complex, but it plays what it’s got to maximum enjoyment.
Bought this in 2011.... and it has proven to be worth the wait. Enjoy yours now.1 person found this helpful Comment
