March 14, 2017 - It's still alive. Delicious mouthfeel: blackberry, roasted meat, touch of violets. Really impressive. Glad I held onto a bottle from the case.

January 24, 2016 - Surprisingly tasty. Tannins are still present, but they are not upfront. Rather, they are in the background and unobtrusive. Lovely dark purple color, without bricking. Roasted meats, and tobacco dominate. Well balanced, with enough acidity to make this wine drink younger than its years.

July 2, 2014 - The flavors were dense with some ripeness and gritty tannins. There was a hint of heat. The initial impression was of a small yet complete wine with juicy acidity that was fine for what it was. It became rougher with air but then many hours later it blossomed.
