February 13, 2023 - Blackberry and something earthy on the nose. On the palate, black cherry, blackberry, currant, and notes of leather, anise, and vanilla, with light tannins and well-balanced acidity on the long finish. The Cellartracker drinking window is too short; this is in its drinking window, and although it probably won't improve, it doesn't seem to be at risk of fading any time soon. It's too bad this isn't being made any more.

April 29, 2019 - Decanted for 2 hours. Initially closed and it needed the time. Still had a shy nose that got better with time. Cherry, anise, tobacco, cassis and a touch of oak on the nose. Medium body, well balanced. Cherry, tobacco, licorice and black currant flavors. Silky smooth tannins inthe long finish. Starting to dry out a little in the finish. Still in a really good place, but would drink up in the next 5 years.

July 7, 2018 - Decanted and let breathe for 2 hours. Heavy sediment in the bottle. Good fruit flavor. A little bit flat on the tongue. Very deep color. Finish struck me as short. A good, solid wine.

April 6, 2018 - A very nice wine that for its age is still drinking well. No rush to drink my last bottle.
