June 13, 2019 - This wine has been a very good value. It is still drinking well, but I believe it is time to drink up. I have 1 bottle left and will put it into my drink now rack.
November 11, 2018 - This might be the best bottle yet......but I agree with some other comments that this wine is about to run its course. I would drink up.
August 10, 2016 - Starting to over age
December 5, 2015 - This wine is drinking very well......and better than a couple of earlier bottles, which were not consistent with the WA review and rating. WA says this one will last until 2020. I am not sure I would keep it until that year, but believe it will be good to 2018-2019.
November 18, 2015 - PnD let air for 2hrs. Dark purple saturated garnet with claret to clear rim. Cassis cherry black olives cola and cured meat on the nose. Medium weight with velvety tannins. Vibrant and nicely ripe with black cherry cassis cola olive amaro and rosemary on the palate. Nice meaty cherry cola finish. Holding up amazingly. Still regretting not buying a case.
November 3, 2015 - Indistinct dark fruit, gaining some fleshiness and clarity with air, but ultimately not too exciting.
October 12, 2014 - Opened about an hour before drinking but did not decant. Dark fruit, earth, and some leather on the nose. More dark fruit and some oak tones along with light tannins. Round finish. Nice with a grilled steak!
August 20, 2014 - - Ruby color.
April 26, 2014 - - Ruby color.
October 27, 2013 - Consistent with last bottle, although fruit is starting to fall off just a bit, and tannins are not as present, hence wine not quite as grippy. Still delicious and excellent with a steak dinner.
