  March 17, 2013 - This is so much better than 4 years ago. Apparently what I mistook as bad was just immature. Still not exceptional, I'd give it a solid good. Can't quite pick up what's on the nose but moving on, the wine is still drinking very young, firm tannins, dark berries, earth...the wine still has lots of time left.

  December 26, 2009 - After reading prior reviews, I decidedto decant for 5 hours and ran through the vinturi. The wine opened up nicely and had a decent smokiness to it with some chocolate. I finicky wine audience commented that they liked the wine. Give it some time in the decanter.

  August 11, 2008 - Average. Sharp tannins (and not in a good way) and a sort of vegetal smell (also not in a good way). Decanted for about 30 minutes, improved somewhat but then lost almost all flavor. Tannins suggest it could age several more years, but not sure if it will be much better.

  June 6, 2008 - Drank about half the bottle after dinner. Seaside smell of rock jetty or pier. This blows off after a few minutes and is replaced by a dull chocolate caramel kind of thing, bu this also passes away fairly soon. Very thin and unappealing in the mouth. This would be ok for a barbeque or picnic wine. 82 points.
