March 9, 2020 - Not memorable but the wine had nice flavors and a short but pleasant finish. It wouldn't meet my expectations of a Cabernet Sauv worth cellaring.

August 16, 2019 - After pulling this bottle out of the cellar I looked at the reviews and was shocked by how low the scores were. With some trepidation I opened it for some frieneds without mentioning all of the negativity. We were all pleased with this wine. Definitely showing its age but very balanced with intense dark color. No hint of the problems mentioned in earlier reviews inthis bottle.

Nose:dust, mineral, earth
Taste: astringent, plum , metal
This is not pleasant. Very green fruit, lots of metal elements, no ginish and very mouth drying.
