April 17, 2022 - Holding up well after so much time in the bottle. I detect a large presence of Cab Franc which is well married to the cedar and spice.

March 17, 2011 - Decanted over one hour.Little shy on the nose showing some dark fruit and oaky notes.Drinking still nicely; smooth dark fruit with vibrant tannins and oak on the palate.Not too complex or developed,but was overall rather smooth,balanced and pleasant.The oak and tannic dusty grip seemed to increase with more airtime.

May 20, 2010 - A great back of the cellar find at a local wine shop. A very nice wine to elevate a great steak to the next level - softened tannins but a great complex finish..after it opened up - might have been a bit cold to start...gotta get a bigger wine frig.
a great cork to pop to continue a celebration! -

March 18, 2009 - Decanted. Initially rounded mouthfeel on the attack but sharp finish with a lot of acidity and tannins and some stewed notes. Softened quite quickly and gave way to soft fruits within the hour. Smokiness developed with bacon, basil and mint and a faint hint raisin on the finish. Wasn't that keen on this at the start as it was a little too sharp but really grew on me as it opened up. Not sure it's terribly good value in the UK though.
