October 14, 2017 - Kinda meat and bloody.
November 9, 2014 - A nice showing tonight. Getting close to maturity but still showing young. Very earthy on nose, notes of fresh mushrooms. Complex on the palate. Great stuff.
September 11, 2014 - way too smokey to enjoy
August 10, 2013 - Opened and poured, this wine gave an excellent showing. This wine on the bouquet and palate remains youthful with subtle, underlying mature notes. The bouquet offers notes of earth, dark fruits, leather, and spice. The aromatics are expressive and detailed. The color is maturing dark ruby. The medium (full) bodied palate shows dark, brooding fruit combined with still present tannins on the medium length finish. This bottle suggests that the wine is at or around its peak but should continue to drink well for the next five years. Imported by Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.
November 14, 2010 - Strong note of tobacco at the finish. Mellowed after opening. Drinking well, , but still plenty of life.
November 14, 2010 - Overraskende lite utviklet. Tonnevis med røde bær. Kraft - på pinot-måten. Men dette kan bli veldig bra om 3-5 år... på vei opp - ikke ned!
July 31, 2010 - Good and fairly open right away, but after a few days in the fridge it's at its even better. Very powerful; excellent in the mouth with a redcurrant mushroom taste. Excellent finish.
July 25, 2009 - Cigar ash flavors with some hints of reduction. Fruit was not in evidence. Perhaps it is shut down, but regardless it was not a pleasant pour. I thought it to be slightly corked but others disagreed. Regardless, 2/3 of the bottle remained at the end of the evening which indccates it was not a crowd favorite.
December 4, 2006 - YUMMY! nice balance, showing leather, tobacco and burnt sugar, black cherry.
June 17, 2005 - Served a bit too warm, but still fantastic. Full bodied, ripe, oaky, quite sweet on the palate, but cut with just the right amount of acidity. Very lovely.
