October 12, 2021 - Unbelievable. Still going strong. Maybe a hair flabby, but lots of good flavors going on, and held strong over 3 nights under pump. What a deal.

August 17, 2018 - Shockingly good and a pleasure to drink for a wine supposedly this far over the hill. Great shiraz flavors, not flabby at all and cough syrup notes under control. Perfectly stored from release.

April 25, 2017 - Community has this nailed. Good fruity flavors, but a little grape juice/cough syrup heaviness. Too simple for a high score. Not sure this was ever any better and it's fading. But seems like this one just is what it is.

August 11, 2016 - Last of 6 bottles was fantastic, intense dark fruit and complex eucalyptus herb and broader spectrum spice, a great value and lasted well, wish I could try again in 5-10 years, but they are all gone.
