March 20, 2020 - Gracefully aged, it has smooth and mellow tannins. The Bouquet has some fruit and underwood. Good for barbecue and other grilled meat. Definitely still enjoyable.

January 6, 2018 - dark red colour with a pale rim
Stewed fruit, plums, on the nose - not too stewed though ,menthol and warm spicy notes
Melty tannin and a creamy/ nutty texture like chestnuts, warm earth, cherry fruit and cinnamon. Mellow like a mature Chateauneuf. Takes on some leather and dark chocolate with time open. Good balance carries it's alcohol - 14.5% - well.

September 19, 2017 - Black as a moonless midnight, with only a thin outer ring of red. Perfumed aromas of black raspberry, black plum, and blackberry fill the nose. Glides through the mouth on velvet skies. Overall, concentrated, delicious, refreshing, and endlessly savory.

July 22, 2016 - Really not showing well. Has a synthetic candied fruit quality that is really weird. Juicy but no real structure. This wine as tough to find good things to say about, but maybe I'm spoiled. Probably also too old, but still somehow super fake-fruity....?
difficult to put a score on also. -

March 6, 2014 - Light and fruit forward. No structure or tannins to provide counterbalance. Light garnet color, raspberry fruit but like chewing gum. Disliked enough to discard and open alternative bottle.
