  October 31, 2016 - Stand this bottle up for a least a few hours before decanting. Loaded with sediment. Decanted for 4 hours before drinking with veal with a sage sauce. A bit of bricking around the edge of the glass. Nice earthy leathery taste on the pallete. This is probably as good as it will get so drink now. Fruit is starting to subside. Nice wine.

  October 10, 2014 - San Diego WineSpectator.com Offline, 10/10/2014 (Solare Restaurant, Liberty Station, Point Loma, San Diego CA): 60:40 colorino & merlot. Cloudy dark garnet color with heavy sediment in the glass. I did not observe how the bottle was handled before serving. Lovely bouquet of fresh red cherries, plums, cloves, nutmeg, leather. Excellent balance, medium-full body, pleasantly tannic.

  October 4, 2014 - very nice dark berries and sandalwood initially, and ripe blackberries after that. But then it fades very rapidly and becomes sort of hollow.

  August 2, 2014 - I opened the wine not knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. This wine showed good character for a blend and for something over 10 years old. This wine was smooth, with plumb tones and a forward taste. I wish I had more of this vintage.
