July 22, 2022 - The Booker was served from Coravin and in the glass for 30 min. Huge aromas of dark fruit but not overripe and also hints of pepper/herbs. Full body, still showing heavy tannins. Rich fruit and considering the blend hard to pinpoint what shines more and a little confusing as I get that Rioja meets Rhone with the Tempranillo up front with a Rhone finish. Overall though a great wine with dinner and would say just entering a good drinking window but has plenty of time left.

September 7, 2021 - Opened,decanted, drank with a savory beef shepherds pie. Awesome! Great fruit with lots of tart cherry flavors. Big but balanced. Clearly improved with additional bottle age.

September 5, 2021 - Stellar! Beautifully blended, drinking exceptionally well, gorgeous cherry fruits, plenty lively to stand up to challenging food but magnificent by itself after a three hour decant

December 23, 2019 - At the top of its class in terms of powerhouse Paso reds, with an intriguing array of flavors working well enough together to keep this race car from veering off the track. Notes of raspberry, apricot, orange peel, fennel and toasted vanilla vie for the leading role. Plenty of heat in addition to the evident oak, but somehow it all works (and I am not a big fan of most Paso darlings).
