April 17, 2021 - Purchased from Benchmark Wines. Coravined one glass and waited 30 minutes to drink. Opulent nose of earthy red fruits. On the palate you get dark cherries, cedar, soft leather, minerality, and delightfully resolved tannins. Delicious new world fruit in an Old World style. Reminiscent of a glorious mid-90s Napa Cab when they pursued Old World style production. This is a spectacular glass of wine. Granted this is the style I fell in love with so my scoring is biased but I unquestionably wish I had more of this bottle. Bravo! 93+ (and might warrant a higher score)

May 20, 2020 - Classic Cabernet bouquet. Very solid structure with black tea, tar and delicious fruit flavors.

November 6, 2015 - Started out slow. Lots of body, but a little too bitter on the finish. Was great with dinner/food. Drank rest a couple days later. Had lost its bitterness and was excellent. Think its probably overdue and should have been drunk a couple years back
