October 20, 2018 - While only having modest length, the black cherry upfront and blackberry finish were well-defined and delicious. This bottle still had a fair amount of tannic backbone, especially in what there was of a finish.

February 28, 2015 - Wine tasting Party and Dinner at our house: I decanted this wine and left it sit to breathe and come into its own, but the enthusiastic party guests pounced on it and drank it before its time. It is a much better wine with a longer decant - or wait a couple of years to drink.

January 25, 2015 - Tasty wine. Notes of cranberry, cherry and oak. Floral on the finish. Good with 1 hour decant but could use a short decant, too. Tasty with a slow-roasted duck. Drink to 2018. Good qpr for '$17 on close-out

February 4, 2013 - perfect. Maybe 1 or 2 more years will improve it. Full of different aromas, good in mouth. End a little bit fast.
