January 9, 2023 - Second time I have had this wine after 4 years. It has lost a lot of potency, but is still very pleasant.

February 3, 2022 - Really good with ginger porkâbrought out the bright cherry flavor in the wine. Finishing acidity/tannins that work well with food. High alcohol but no burn

December 29, 2021 - Too much new oak, too much vanilla, too much cocoa, too much alcohol, too much extraction.

November 3, 2019 - Deep ruby color, slow tears. Cherry, raspberry, tobacco in the nose. Sweet berries, rosemary in palate. Smooth mouthfeel, subtle tannins. Delicious wine, but a bit overpowered by fatty food.

October 27, 2019 - Long decant, which cut down on the huge profile this has slightly, this is a jammy, monolithic chocolate and oak affair that needs a big food pairing to bring into line.
