  February 1, 2013 - A nice surprise. The nose centers on good dark fruit with a bit of spice. A little alcohol peaks through, dinging my rating a couple points. The palate, primary and dominated by sweet plum-like fruit, is matched by the opaque purple color, which lacks variation even at the rim. A decently long finish features some earth and drying tannins. NB: have never seen a cork like this bottle's. It was if it were bonded to the glass and could not be budged.

  March 30, 2012 - mejor que pensaba que iba a ser. aromatico, sabor anis, sedoso, balanceado. me gusto.
  
  tapon estaba rebasado de la botella, y el tapon estaba terco y dejo rasgos por adentro del cuello.
  
  comimos entrecot, ensalada de nopales, rabano, aguacate, tomate, romaine, cilantro y vinaigrete.

  January 22, 2011 - RUSSK WSW at Mike' Cellar Clearance Party. My WOTN, but a close call with the other top 3. Earthy aromatics, full bodied, still plenty of structure. Good value at $20.

  December 18, 2010 - Popped + poured and thought "wow, this is even better than the last bottle!" Nice earthy and leathery secondary flavors, with a very Bdx-y funk that made me savor the first glass far longer than I normally would. Solid tannins and acid, I was upset at opening something with so much apparent life left in it! But that's where the love story ended. Over the next two hours, as the rest of the bottle aired it lost all intensity and started to just taste kind of flat :( Drink soon, and quickly!
