  June 27, 2021 - This vintage should probably be consumed within the next year. Lost some of it's umph. But still very tasty. Blue fruit, red plum, notes of black cherry. What's missing is the earthy notes. Had with a Caribbean/Jerk marinaded smoked sirloin. With the fruits in the marinade it paired nicely but was not the star of the dinner.

  February 16, 2019 - W wildlife macaroni. Yummy combo. This wine came out of the bottle like ink. Very dark coloR. Good nose needed some time to open up but on palate this was very good as well. No need to wait, time has done this wine well but i think the freshness is kind of important and not sure it will stay around.

  May 4, 2017 - It needed about an hour of decanting to open up. Nose was very earthy with predominantly pepper and cassis. Deep garnet in color, great body. Mellow finish.
