November 22, 2012 - Drinking very nicely with still a beautiful berry, bramble and spice nose, abundant black fruit and silky smooth tannins.

October 11, 2011 - Medium purple, semi opaque. Nose of plums, jammy, bit of leathe. Vanilla and fruit, medium mouthful with a tang in the mid palate. Somewhat monotonal, this is not a bottle I wished I had bought more of although I would not say no if someone else poured me a glass ; ) Drank at Canadian Thanksgiving with good friends.

October 2, 2010 - Purple color. Nose of flowers and cherry. This has mellowed nicely since my last bottle 9 mos ago. Smooth mouth-feel with pleasant cherry and vanilla flavors and a smooth medium finish.
