December 11, 2022 - Delicious when opened.
September 6, 2022 - pnp, definitely has continued to improve over the years, this one is the best yet.
March 23, 2021 - Drinking well
October 20, 2019 - Deep, dark, bramble, full, yum.
September 23, 2019 - This wine has been a good value from the start, but it has improved. I thought 2020 would be the back end year. That might not be the case.....could last longer. This is the second recent bottle that was definitely better on the second night.
April 28, 2019 - Last of 6 bottles purchased from Wine Access in 2016
Didn't take notes- only "91+" - wine was still very nice, if not better, on night 2.
February 11, 2019 - Similar to an experience last year. On the first night, this wine was just so-so, but on the second night it was spectacular......a 92-93 experience. Open the bottle for a long time and/or give it a big decant and it will deliver an experience way out of line (better) than the price point.
December 29, 2018 - Same as previous note. Really drinking well.
December 26, 2018 - Medium plus finish. Black pepper. Spice box. Mild tannin. Alcohol hot. 15% comes through.
March 7, 2018 - I had a part of a bottle of this one last night. Did not post a review because I did not think I had anything to add to other posted tastings. Tonight, I had the rest of the bottle and am stunned......on the second night this was a 92-93 experience. Last night it was disappointing......flabby and tired. Bottom line is, give it a big decant.
