April 4, 2023 - Wine gathering at RJ's; 4/4/2023-4/7/2023 (South Carolina): This particular bottle lost most of the concentrated fruit expression. Unlike the Centenaire, it doesn’t show much tertiary notes which makes it just too simple and straightforward. If I were to own a bottle, I would sell.

November 27, 2020 - Decanted for 1 hour. Aromas of balsamic, rhubarb, dried cherry, dried strawberry and tomato leaf. Flavors of dried cherry, dried strawberry, licorice, balsamic and earth. Ends with a dried cherry and soy finish of 25-30 seconds. Bit tight opening but opened up with some air. Got just a bit of heat on the palate but not too distracting.

November 1, 2019 - Not the best effort from my favorite California winery. Swampy, unfocused and a bit hot. There is a lot of extract but it just feels jumbled. Can’t be upset as I have glorious memories of so many wines from Marcassin. This just isn’t one of them. (85)

April 24, 2019 - One of the first wines I purchased from Marcassin. I have loved almost everything from this winery, but this is a disappointment. Color is a healthy light ruby, but things go downhill with the first smell. Heavy oak masks the red fruit and coffee notes. The palate follows suit - way too much oak/structure and too little wine. A negative surprise as this is one of the few new world producers I will “buy all” from with each vintage. (84)
