February 9, 2019 - As before, very nice.
December 15, 2018 - Still very oaky; not improving so far.
November 20, 2018 - Continues to be consistent; heavy oak but good structure. Holds up well to robust foods. Had with spanish rice and with bbq ribs; doesn't pair as well with more sophisticated foods IMO. I would like it a lot better with less oak; I had hoped it would tame with time but hasn't.
November 5, 2018 - Nice but continues to have heavy oak "hit." OK with certain robust foods.
October 16, 2018 - Cherry aroma. Nice.
August 26, 2018 - Nice easy drinking wine. Good red fruit flavors with some oak in the background. Went well with a smoked brisket.
August 2, 2018 - Improving as it ages though should get even better. Big complex dark nose; lots going on, dark fruit, leather, some forest and more. On the palate, the oak is still too prominent but beginning to smooth out. Blackberry, tar, hint of licorice once I get past the oak.
June 20, 2018 - We like
