November 1, 2018 - From 375, under screw cap. A palate that is plump, yet not full of fat. underlying eucalyptus flavor. Dark berry all day long on the palate. still full of energy. Red cherry jumps out with a mouthful of my salad dressed with Garlic ExpressionsTM.

November 6, 2016 - Very pretty dark fruit nose, worked well with grilled burgers. Had a 2nd glass after dinner and it struck me how low acid this wine is. Very flabby in the finish. Probably wouldn't buy again as without food I found it hard to finish.

August 13, 2016 - Bel équilibre de fraicheur et de puissance. Belle saveurs de violette, poivre et fruits rouge. Bonne longueur.

July 4, 2016 - Obvious Shiraz nose. Black fruit, dark chocolate, and deft spices, with a pleasant hard candy aspect. Rich and full, broad and long, linear and rigid. Savory, umami flavors are complemented by lots of spice-laden, red fruit, and bitter chocolate on the finish. Very appealing.
