Tasted non blind at a local BYOB cafe. Opened and served immediately.
Garnet to perhaps dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of leather, bacon, black berries and plums. Flavors of black berries, plums and perhaps a dash of black currants. Medium acidity, medium tannins, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold. -

June 4, 2011 - Really impressed with this bottle. Bouquet starting to come around with lighter floral notes lingering with the fruit and mild spice. Smooth and integrated on the palate with a surprisingly long finish.

May 9, 2011 - 4th time I have had this wine. Mothers day wine with short ribs. This bottle was less concentrated and smoother than the previous bottles. 89-90 points.

September 11, 2010 - Stefania Tasting at The Backyard Bistro! (Bordentown, NJ): Popped and poured, this wine had a gorgeous, dark, garnet color in the glass. Nice black fruits on the nose, with some currant, mocha, sprice, and pepper. Dark cherry filled out the nose, and I never would have guessed that this wine was an '05. On the palate, nice black fruits shine though. Lots of black cherry and maybe some boysenberry or blackberry. Some spice and black peppery on the lingering finish made this very enjoyable. This wine may not be as well rounded and complex as Paul's current wines, but this was definitely a joy to try for the first time. Easily 3-5 years left in this wine, and probably even more. If you have them, drink or hold. 91 points! Cheers!

April 30, 2010 - Still not an overpowering syrah. Same TN's as Vino Me with black fruit, cola and light oak.
