May 6, 2016 - Dark red in the glass, nose is layered with maybe a bit of alcohol. Palate is smooth, not tasting any oak like other reviewers. Wine is smooth on the finish and well made. Tannins are in play a little, but not over powering, this wine may need more time in the cellar, however this isn't a French Bdx that can sit for 30 yrs. I would guess it will peak sooner rather then later.

December 6, 2015 - Nose was nice with some deep dark notes of blackberry earthiness. Palate was TIGHT. Even after over an hour the wine did not open and a muted finish. Lots of layers but they did not open up.
