  September 2, 2021 - Las bottle. Drinking well but time to drink these. Acidity on the high side.

  January 7, 2015 - Give this about an hour then enjoy the big fruit nose and palate. Very nice especially at the price point. Certainly in the drinking window.

  March 30, 2014 - Nose not giving much. Some barnyard, black cherry and minerality in your mouth.Hollows out a bit in the mid-palate and short finish accenting more earthiness and black tea.

  January 7, 2014 - Slight barnyard aroma. Smoky flavors of dark fruit and tobacco.
  Good balance and moderate finish.

  August 13, 2013 - PnP last night had a quick taste and put the rest in the fridge. Just like wicozani I had it with re-warmed spicy pork ribs. Very dark purple crimosn almost saturated with a crimson rim. Sour cherry rhubarb and herb aroma. Medium weight with prickly cherry skin and black tea tannin. Flavours of blueberry and pomegranate with an herbal/tobacco note. Spicy herbal finish with a ripe mid-palate. Big fruit in a sleek package. Held up well from the night before.
