May 7, 2023 - A little past it’s prime but still terrific . Went well with Chimichurri flank steak
February 28, 2023 - Showing very well now - big, balanced, quite rich. Very good value.
June 5, 2022 - Expected it would be smoother. Good tannins and blend.
May 31, 2022 - This has become much better over time - more balanced, some power and fruit becoming more accessible. Great value. Held up very well even on day #3 - plenty of body and expression.
May 23, 2022 - Belle matière, beaucoup de fruits noires et
des tannins charnus.
Immensément long et capiteux.
Bien.
October 8, 2021 - A bit big and brawny, good body, not as dry and firm as some malbecs from Argentina. Good value.
September 11, 2021 - Very smooth, concentrated and yummy. Couldn't really find anything wrong with it. Justin's friend Kyle brought for the wedding weekend. Also had the Primus which was maybe a tad fruitier, but very close. Need to find more.
May 31, 2021 - pleasant aroma and dark ruby color with the influence of oak and merlot with cabernet. Black fruit predominate though overall not a fruit forward jammy wine. smooth and good balance. medium to full body and chewy tannins and a medium finish. An excellent wine to drink especially with food or after meal.
April 21, 2021 - Day 1: Fragrant nose featuring blueberries, minerals, spice, bitter chocolate and earth. Very tasty and a crowd pleaser. This is one of the those wines that would check the boxes from everyone but the uneducated wine snob. 91 points
Day 2: Not as solid on day 2. A bit astrignent. I don't see this aging like the 13. Drink now. 88 points
Recommendation: Drink now.
March 10, 2021 - Pop and pour, this bottle was more expressive than the previous 2. It seems to be hitting its stride. The tannins are friendly. There is a lot of red fruit and spice on the palate, as well as dark chocolate, violets, plum and earth. There was significant sediment.
