  February 2, 2016 - Nice wine. Soft and fading so we are drinking. Nice fruit and no tannins.

  June 16, 2013 - I can see how some people would be disappointed with the QPR of this wine. Having bought this wine well below the release price, I was happy with the wine. A thick Syrah with a little too much alc on the nose. But all in all, nice fruit on the nose and a reasonable finish.

  December 28, 2012 - Purchased 6 bottles through auction and can only guess they had not been cellared propery. After consuming 3 bottles, two had off flavors with strong vanilla overtones. This wine must have been sold in shiners with a Montesquieu label slapped on them since they have a La Sirena cork. Corks showed seepage to nearly the top of the bottles. Do not recommend purchase unless you know how the wine has been handled previously.
