  September 30, 2023 - Figured this would be borderline and it was -- just a bit more fruit would put this back in balance, as it is, a touch acidic/shrill and a bit boring despite tertiary development. Drink up!

  October 28, 2022 - Remarkably good, especially at this level.
  Full of bright raspberry fruit, and enough earthy spiciness to make this quite interesting.
  While in no immediate danger, I’d drink soon while it is just so delicious.

  May 21, 2020 - Last bottle of this, and it was memorably great given its very humble price tag. Raspberry, mineral and smoke tinged aromas. Intensely herbal palate, most pleasant, with succulent blackberry and balanced, moderate acidity. Velvety with very soft tannins, and tons of personality. Terrific bottle.

  April 8, 2020 - Dark robe, "bien foncé", clear at the edges. Rather one-dimensional, jammy nose, but much more interesting on the palate. Notes of red fruits, leather and tar, robust tannins, and a long and complex finish. A nice complement to lamb and eggplant, and good QPR at $15.

  December 24, 2019 - A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied GSM, with plum, raspberry, licorice and spice on finish. www.winelx.com
