May 3, 2016 - this wine is still delightful 10 years later! Nose is still beautiful and fruity; a bit of fruit left on the palate which quickly gives way to leather and spice and a very soft mouth feel. A bit sad that the winery has changed hands and may not be making something as nice as this in the future...

October 16, 2011 - Strong aromas of bell pepper, black plum, raspberry and fine leather. Delightful wine, great value!

August 2, 2011 - A deep and brilliant garnet colour exhibits the incredible concentration of this wine; fruity and rich with aromas of red raspberry, black cherry and plum with touches of caraway and green olive. Careful aging in mature oak enhances the nose with suggestions of leather and cigar box. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine explodes with raspberry and cranberry, then proceeds with firmness to finish with lengthy butterscotch and hints of mint.
