November 20, 2015 - Decanted and found a fair amount of sediment left in the bottle. Nose started pretty skunky and dusty, although that blew off in an hour or so and left a pretty bland nose with stoniness and maybe prune. Surprisingly pleasant on the palate with notes of cherry and currant, with a touch of cranberry. Medium bodied with a deceptively smooth mouthfeel and a decent finish. Seems past peak, but still very drinkable.

With air, really nice plummy fruit, fuzzy sides, velour-like texture. Sweet fruit emerges with air. Really a nice surprise.

June 4, 2013 - Better than the last bottle, nasty sulfur on opening which decreased to unveil basic blueberry fruit and a very steely base. Not entirely pleasant.

May 26, 2013 - Based on the reviews there seems to be bottle variation on this one. I have enjoyed both bottles I got from Garagiste and have no complaints. Held up well over two nights and paired nicely with a steak and porobello mushroom off the grill.
