December 15, 2019 - Bottles of this wine have ranged from very good to almost undrinkable.
This was one of the good ones. -

June 7, 2019 - Rather sharp from VA which never blew off.
Red and blue fruits lurked beneath that, with some unresolved tannins remaining. -

June 10, 2018 - Decanted half the bottle for lunch.
On opening, Light cherry, plum & herb on the nose with a faint hint of VA.
First sips are tart with slightly bitter tannins on the palate, and cherries in the background.
A bit more fruit on the nose by the second glass, but remained a bit sharp on the palate thru the bottle.
A hint of chocolate on the nose later on, and a bit of earth/mushroom with dinner.
Not one of the best bottles of this, as there is a good deal of bottle variation from one to the next. -

April 25, 2018 - Decanted, minor sediment. Nice fruit aroma. Deep ruby red color.
Ripe plum and black cherry, a bit sharp. Medium bodied.
Modest tannins. Pleasing finish.
Improved substantially over 2 hours. 87-88 pts.
The final glass was returned to bottle and saved for the following night.
Final glass: consumed with cheese/crackers before dinner. Modest improvement from the previous night. 88 pts
