February 21, 2020 - Strong, earthy, graphite and dark plum, some violet and rosemary. Meaty finish. Strong showing, rich, dark, nicely aged - smooth. Drink now but no immediate need. If I had more I'd hold another year or so.

April 8, 2017 - This wine held its own following others three or four times it's price. Lighter end of Bordeaux blends. Fruit forward, with a sweet mid palate, nose of dark fruit and greenery, caramel undertone, some vanilla and mid length finish.

November 19, 2016 - Good nose of blueberry, vanilla and cherries when first opened. Slightly dry, smooth tannins and medium length. A well balanced wine with clean acid finish and some oak. Just Starting to develop tertiary notes. Should continue to improve over the coming years.
