  August 24, 2016 - Deep ruby. Long, viscous legs. Nose of iron, cool wet stones, spice box, sweet persimmon. Very drinkable with streamlined tannins. Vanilla, dark chocolate, orange peel across the palate. Lovely wine.

  April 8, 2015 - Initially very sirupy and jammy with overripe blueberry, dark raspbery and strawberry. On day two and after beeing served slightly chilled, components are more in balance but it remains one dimensional new world(ish) syrah profile lacking acidity and complexity. Disappointing showing given my earlier impressions from this cuvee.

  May 30, 2014 - it has the makings of a very good find (especially at half price!) but having had several bottles that are fairly rated at 92 pts or higher, this one does not fit in with such an illustrious crowd. For a bottle that is supposed to fetch a cool $50, I'd be furious if I had paid as much for such mediocrity.
  
  Good on the nose, very slow legs... it just lacks a decent finish.

  September 6, 2013 - Intense, dark. Ripe dark fruit, herbs, undergrowth, black pepper on the nose. Palate is explosive with warm dark cherry, spices, peper, and herbal notes. Solid structure, great balance and length. Finishing long and complex with delicate sweet tannins. Despite the intensity here, freshness is ample and the wine is never heavy.
