PMJak11 Does not like this wine: 92 points
March 2, 2024 - My last two bottles of Continuum have both been below average.
1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Nice nose of mature cherries, earth, and subtle baking spices. Wine was tannic, spicy, and unrefined. Medium plus depth but weak finish. Disappointing for the price. -

January 29, 2024 - Richness is this wine's middle name - as well as mouth-coating and wonderful!
It is dark fruit based and has lovely balance and character with an incredibly long finish.
This is a great wine with many years left. -

January 2, 2024 - Initially a waft of alcohol, followed by scents of brambly stewed blackberries and black olives. Loam and wet earth on the complex finish. This has nice underlying acidity to keep the fruit fresh and in balance. The tannins are finely pixelated and give the wine a good firm structure. Well made and enjoyable.

December 1, 2023 - Double decanted for about 45 min and started consuming one 30 min later.
This wine is a beast and a beauty, big and bold, complex and full of pleasant earthy notes. The finish goes forever, we had it last night and I still feel it in my tongue… lol.
95+
Drink or hold, it’s going to get better. -
