September 14, 2019 - Lively and brawny, not showing much age yet. Needs considerable air to bring out the aromas and layered palate. Long decant or hold.

March 4, 2018 - Nose is fairly bold with cherry, dried meat, pencil shavings, and eucalyptus aromas. With a few hours of air, this remains slightly tannic but polished overall with more wild cherry and plummy flavors. Would be a perfect pair for a braised veal shank!

October 18, 2016 - Audozed for about 6 hours with the cork back in. Red cherries and an abundance of earth- more forest floor than tar, with some tomato leaf, plum skin, and anise. Tannins are still very powerful with a woody astringency that will need time to soften before the acidity can recovery. Style & Quality: B (85). $26 from WTSO is a decent value, but the 05 and 09 deliver more IMO. Value: B+ (86). Overall Eval: B (85).

May 21, 2015 - Richly fruited on the nose with prominent eucalyptus, poured through aerating pourer and find this quite tannic with bold sour cherry and balsamic.
