  March 17, 2022 - Cellar find that never made it into my CT inventory. Nice GSM blend that is still drinking well with good storage.

  October 18, 2016 - Found in a dark corner of the cellar. Figured no time better than the present, and maybe a couple years ago to drink it, so Tuesday night here we go:
  
  It's translucent ruby in color. On the nose there's pepper, roasted meat, mushroom, asphalt, licorice, and green herbal notes all around a core of ripe but not too ripe fruit. Round, yet structured with the tannins for the most part receding to the background. This has lovely balance, a bit on the plump side, but with enough savory and meaty notes to keep it interesting. I like this wine quite a bit. On the back side of peak, but still very enjoyable. 90pts

  March 21, 2013 - Rich and full but too extracted. After long aeration it improved but still not sure about it.

  July 27, 2012 - I popped this bottle and quickly took a taste and it was outstanding! with characteristics resembling a mid-level CdP with similar age...cured meats, rich cherries, nice grip...I was really excited. However, when I returned to the bottle 90 min later, everything was gone. It as like I was drinking the same wine, but my nose was plugged up.. Over the next three hours, nice things tried to emerge, but it never approached that immediate pour..

  April 28, 2012 - Interesting. This can pass for Spanish or French mourvedre. Some heat is prominent. It can be the temperature it was served at.
