December 13, 2020 - This Marquis Shiraz held up much better than his cabs. Still had deep ruby color and adequate fruit with soft tannins.
October 22, 2020 - This wine hasn't budged a whole lot since release—maybe a tad leaner. Confectionary notes of blueberry maple syrup, cheese danish, black plum, ripe fig, and dark chocolate. Still a fun wine, even if the finish reveals the stitches from its plastic surgery.
October 19, 2018 - Sweet and savory. Good age. Very big. Port notes tim.
August 12, 2018 - Seamless dark fruit, juicy and rich. A pleasure to drink. Glad I waited.
November 5, 2017 - Stored in cold cellar since release. Stelvin. Perfect condition. Deep colour-still bright red. Powerful bouquet. Harmonious balanced shiraz with real depth. Ideal slightly spiced food. No hotness from 16.5% alcohol. A minor classic. Will last.
August 20, 2017 - Still pretty good but this bottle is a little over extracted than the last one. Too sweet.
August 13, 2017 - Deep garnet in color-dense. Plum, and other black/purple fruit. Balanced complexity with smooth integrated complexity.
August 28, 2016 - Very mature already, but still great fun. Rich, sweet with more mature notes of prunes and blood, good stuff, but I would drink soon
April 4, 2016 - Drink up if you have in your cellar. Hints of raisin starting to come through.
February 28, 2016 - Waited too long. No longer good.
