June 19, 2023 - On the nose, aromas of black current, tar and black olives. The palate is rich with fruit flavors of black current, blackberries and bing cherry. In addition to the fruit flavors there is tar, black olive, vanilla and some baking spices. This wine now has soft, med+ tannins and med+ acidity.
June 6, 2015 - Found this bottle in a dark corner. It's holding up surprisingly well, with some smoky black cherries, but oak is just too dominant resulting in a very dry finish.
August 20, 2014 - Still drinking quite well, although I meant to open a few years ago. Note of green pepper, cigar box herbs, and oaky undertones. Nicely balanced on the palate. Would have no issue pairing with a nice cut of red meat.
January 7, 2014 - always a good wine. time made very good to it
June 28, 2013 - A big wine that definitely needs food to temper it.
April 30, 2013 - Fading.
February 24, 2013 - Tasted old, but got better after an hour of opening.
January 29, 2013 - Ripe red berries in the nose, well balanced with a nice finish, perfect drinking age.
August 26, 2012 - Still great! Well balanced, minimal tannins, dark fruit.
August 13, 2012 - Still in full vigour, originally carried direct from the producer (what a stunning location!) to our cellar. Purple with garnet tones. Violet, morello & cassis on nose. Surprising floral notes, crème de cassis, subtle vanilla and shadows of cigar box. Balanced oak & tannins give firm structure to this nuanced South American cabernet blend.
