April 23, 2015 - I was pleasantly surprised with this wine - time has been very kind to it. Wonderful aromas filled with dark fruits and vanilla. Flavors of dark cherry, plum and blackberry with a bit of tobacco on the finish. The finish also shows a lot of oak. If you are lucky enough to have some of this, drink up.

October 30, 2014 - Drank some Thursday, some Sunday. Wine is not bad. Dark color and a dark core on the palate. Decent finish, but no real fruit to speak of. It's wine and it shows remnants of quality - I just don't find a lot to enjoy. Maybe it's over the hill.

November 28, 2013 - First of 3 bottles, and wasn't sure what to expect. PnP. Mild nose and palate of red & black fruit and a hint of minerality, well integrated with soft tannins and a medium finish.
