May 14, 2022 - Looks lovely, clean and glassy. Nose is alive and very inviting with cool spice. It’s a knockout on the palate with rich black fruit and exotic spice. I don’t know if it’ll ever get any better but at 14.6 ABV it’s not going south anytime soon.

August 16, 2020 - Decanted for 1.5 hours. Beautiful nose, very strong on the front of the palate, then fades away nicely. Tannins have now softened and it tastes more like a milder cabernet blend rather than the big, bold cabernet that was advertised. Still delightful and seductive.

April 4, 2020 - Remains BIG wine. Should have decanted for hour or longer before consumption. Agree with prior comment that doesn't drink like q cabernet sauvignon.

November 8, 2019 - It was delicious! So good I really didn’t want to swallow!
Rich blackberry fruit with a touch of licorice and a dash of spice yet a very well balanced wine from front to back.
Nice garnet color ... had another bottle that we drank several years earlier and I think this was better ... aged well but why wait any longer!
