  December 11, 2016 - Last bottle, it was time. Smooth, delish, can't imagine it getting any better.

  September 26, 2012 - Day 2: still tasty, surprisingly. I decanted some bordeaux earlier but I'm considering polishing this off first.... Just grabbed some salami to try this with food...this actually has a decent amount of acid to mingle with the salami on the palate but with the food, it just vanishes on the finish due to the lack of minerality and tannins. As I want to continue eating the salami I've decided to move on to bordeaux. If I'm ever at at bar that has this on the list, it would suffice as a better than average "cocktail" wine.

  September 26, 2012 - The flaccid constitution of the cork tipped me off that this wine was going to be a limp drinking experience. Although the wine lacked structure on opening, some tannins and acidy emerged over 3 hours of drinking. Too fruit forward to be my style of wine. I thought this wine was too sweet to emulate an old world Sangiovese blend; however, it was a dryer drinking experience then many cali cabs I've had that retail for more $. But a mediocre US blend of Sangio and Zinfandel should come in at <$15, not 20+. If you have an old world palate, this wine will disappoint. If you're lucky enough to be at a wedding where the father of the bride shelled out for this, then drink up....it could be a lot worse.

  March 28, 2012 - Fruit and a hint of earth on the nose. Mostly red fruit on the initial attack, a touch of chocolate. Fairly empty midpalate and no finish.

  January 21, 2012 - Drinking very well right now. Flavors and textures have melded nicely together.
