December 2, 2020 - Arriving near it’s peak, drank beautifully. Tannins becoming softer, still retains some lovely fruit particularly cherry notes, and acidity keeping lively. Paired with prime rib and was delicious. I bought this during my visit to Casaloste in 2015. I was impressed with it then, but if I could have anticipated how gracefully this would evolve, I would certainly have stocked more.

May 5, 2013 - We tasted this at the winery, just stopped by on the off chance that they could take us. The property was beautiful and the tasting was an enjoyable experience. I wish we had bought a few more bottles of this. It was the best bottle we tasted.
No detailed notes since I am writing this a few days later but it was very enjoyable. -
