May 5, 2023 - Elegant and reticent bouquet of black cherries, red currants, pomegranate, mint, and oyster shell. Bright, firm, and full bodied, with a juicy core of dark red fruit flavors bolstered by a bountiful structure. As is the case with excellent bottles, the last glass was the best. Drink or hold.

October 23, 2021 - Deep ruby colour, red fruit
Very smooth tannins, I don’t expect the wine to improve much more but could hold a few more years
A solid Cab ,there is better QPR but this was very pleasant
I noticed a lot of poor reviews recently and am wondering about storage issues or perhaps it is a consistency issue with the vintage1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 17, 2021 - From magnum. Still drinking nicely, not overly mature. Tannins silky and acid a bit low but fragrant dark berry aroma and palette. Med bodied, med finish. Very enjoyable. But don't wait!

December 31, 2020 - A bit funky, which I notice mentioned in the notes of others. I thought it was tainted but I think it's just the character of the wine after reading the other tasting notes. I had the 2016 yesterday which was fantastic so this one is sorely disappointed.
