September 18, 2018 - Sweet dark berries and boysenberry, with spice, licorice and some green (herbs or maybe mint) developing with air. Full-bodied and weighty, while it softly saturated the palate. Delicious and a wonderful mouthfeel; not terribly complex though.

May 8, 2016 - Blind Tasting mainly Californian Reds: A little bit overripe, some signs of mint, so we thought it could be californian in this blind tasting, I was not sure if this wine was maybe defective but all other people at the tabel said no and rated higher. Maybe it was not my wine at that day

January 28, 2015 - Le Macchiole Wine Dinner (La Pizza Fresca Ristorante): Evolved sweet dark fruit -- plums, berries mixed with a gritty bitter sweet cocoa powder. Recalled Rutherford dust tingle. The fruit is melded together and more linear than a more playful Scrio. Violets on the nose. Tangy, dense wine with viscous glycerin legs. Ripe and good.

October 8, 2013 - Beautiful and deep bouquet with ripe dark fruits, some autumn as well as coffee and cedar impressions; luxurious, complex and warm. On the palate dark fruits, a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity and round tannin. A beautiful mouth feel. Completely ready now and the next 3+ years.
