March 8, 2024 - Very big still. Reminds me of mid 2000s Paso, but beyond that, like the wine equivalent of an Ed Hardy shirt. I thought it was too overripe and raisin-ish. My wife absolutely loved it, so maybe you will too? Absurdly huge and heavy bottle.

January 12, 2024 - PnP. Dark purple, almost black color. Syrah like nose with black fruit and alcohol. Dark fruit and plums/prunes on the palate. Massive wine and high OH. Medium plus finish. Not my style, but not bad.
