December 11, 2022 - Lovely wine that aged very well. Powerful fruit and smooth drinking wine.
August 20, 2021 - Dark red, dense full bodied, rich currant and blackberry flavors, medium tannins, high acidity and alcohol content. Has plenty of years left in it. This is a blockbuster wine.
May 27, 2020 - Smooth and well balanced.
February 13, 2019 - Smooth and integrated with a touch of earth and tobacco balancing the fruit. I would drink up at this point. Again, amazing value for the cost. I think the table would have been shocked to learn I picked this up for $20.00.
March 12, 2018 - Enjoyed along side steak. A little low in acidity and lift, but some interesting fruit and mature cab flavors make this worth sipping.
January 28, 2018 - Amazing for the prices. Still drinking very well with rich vanilla and fruit in balance with soft spices. Benefited from breathing for an hour.
December 4, 2016 - Drank at Bunko Christmas party at Mike and Marry's
December 7, 2012 - Wow! patience was rewarded here; fabulous nose, fantastic palate, and pleasant finish shortly after popping the cork; very much like a Bordeaux wine and way much better than what it was 3 years ago (88-89 points); will probably peak in 2-3 years but 92-93 for now already; another excellent example of how well-made cabernet sauvignon can evolve and transform with proper cellar time.
July 17, 2012 - From magnum. Dark ruby with a hint of red brick on the edge. Nose of mixed red and dark fruit. Palate is very soft and gentle. Tannins are relaxed and inviting - almost to the point where I hoped for a little more punch. Light acidity. Cassis, raspberry, hint of vanilla. Some oak present. Nice overall, but nothing that makes this wine stand out. A moderate finish that complements nicely.
January 8, 2012 - Dark fruits on the nose with a hint of cassis. This one had quite a bit of grip and still wasn't completely open and forgiving after about two hours. A nice bottle to ponder over a long evening.
