November 15, 2023 - A decent wine. But a bruiser in style. It takes no prisoners. Be prepared for a wine that is in your face. This wine is fun, but it does not a nanogram of subtlety.

March 19, 2023 - Firm and expressive bouquet with dark berries, smoke and toasty oak. On the palate dark berries, some vanilla, firm acidity and tannin. The wine can certainly last a few more years, but it’s perfectly ok this is my last of 6.

June 4, 2022 - Blueberry and red plum flavors. Heavy (in a good and bad way) mouth with dry tannins and acidity. A little unbalanced. Still excellent. At its peak now I guess.

April 18, 2022 - Now 10 yr old. Tasted upon opening and still tight so decanted 2 hrs lovely dark fruit, tannins present but we'll integrated. Excellent with food, has a long finish with a bit of spice that is wonderful. Lots of time left if you are holding great value
