April 2, 2020 - This wine really came around on day 2. Suggest a couple hours in the decanter or hold for another 2-5 years, depending on your preferences.

May 10, 2019 - Bright red fruits on the palate. Also come current notes that remind me of a Creme de Cassis. Excellent balance and very smooth. Very long finish.

February 5, 2017 - Very nice Bordeaux blend from Red Willow Vineyard. Cassis and black cherry fruit, tobacco, slight vanilla cola from the oak. Drank quite well on Day 3 even. Drink late 2017-2025.
