September 22, 2023 - This was pure pleasure tonight! It has aged so well yet I would never guess the vintage just by the taste. Big and luscious but also round with no hard edges and a strong finish. Not long, but not short. Tannins are relatively soft. Acid is moderate. I couldn't sense the 16% alcohol, though after 2 glasses I'm a little more buzzed than I should be.
All in all I find this a very impressive wine for what it is from when it is. Naysayers said this would never hold up and would fall apart after a few years. They were wrong.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 16, 2023 - Tasted/reviewed blind (and drunk). A stupid smelling wine of oaky chocolate and vanilla. Stupid and low class New World winemaking. Overripe fruit with no acidity. Tastes like overripe syrah with plenty of black pepper. Stupid and New World. Idiot winemaking. Sorry to be blunt but get this shit out of here. My guess: California syrah. Rating: 85.

January 24, 2020 - My last battle of this vintage, still drinking well. Consumed over three days. Black cherry fruit is still showing over a decade in the bottle.
