  September 10, 2012 - Tinge of smoke and tobacco were at the forefront. Not what I remember from previous bottles. Would of gone nicely with a cuban cigar.

  May 19, 2012 - Birthwholeday Wine Night :): This has a 12 hour decant on it. Very good, nice ripe dark fruit from To Kalon, but not quite up to the level rest of the bottles from the evening. Still had noticeable alcohol that took over the finish.

  February 9, 2012 - Had this at a Macauley tasting. Definitely the wine of the evening, even though the 2005 was quite fine too. Clear, ruby, medium plus in intensity. The nose is clean, youthful and medium plus in intensity, with fresh black berry and bkackcurrant aromas. The palate is dry, with medium acidity; everything else in this package is medium plus in intensity. This is very young; it is drinkeable now but is likely to be better in 3-5 years and will easiy keep until 2022. This wine is very extracted, with a gorgeous texture, silky tannis.
