September 13, 2020 - Surprised that this is drinking so well. The heat others mentioned has subsided. Big ripe fruit and tannins and opens up nicely. (Opened with Coravin drank it over a couple of days.)

March 14, 2015 - Best bottle yet, last of 3. Still hot, but the fruit was big enough to make it worthwhile.

January 31, 2015 - Excellent without a decant but with an aerator. Smooth finish and great tannins. Only negative is it's awfully expensive for what it is.

July 7, 2014 - A nice franc, but not worth the $. Still, the $ is gone, and the wine is here, so might as well enjoy it! A bit hot too me, but good varietal characteristics. Lacking much tannic structure or depth of flavor profile.
