  October 11, 2018 - Still harsh with leather and smoke but with decanting it smooths out and even adds a little dried fruit into the mix.

  April 15, 2011 - I expected better from this label. It's an ok wine, but not deep and heavy enough to go with a nice steak.

  March 6, 2011 - Given the heritage and reputation of the producers, I thought I had found a steal for under $15/bottle...that is, until I read the few downbeat CT notes. So after lamenting the purchase for a year, I decanted a bottle and left it alone for a couple of hours before a nice steak dinner. Don't know if it was a function of low expectations, some time in the cellar and decanter, or small sample size for the CT rating but this wine provided a nice surprise and quality experience. Color and aroma were impressive (deep, inviting and sweeter on the nose than anticipated) with medium plus body and a very interesting palate of flavors with some I don't even typically enjoy (light mint and licorice) folded in well with richer tones. All said, very glad I purchased and will seek more...

  November 10, 2010 - Dark garnet with purplish tinge, it started off with a pungent nose but an hour+ of decanting help revealed aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, smoke and mocha. Medium bodied and soft on the palate, with smoky fruits, blackcurrant and spice. Short to medium finish with hints of dark chocolate. Soft and drying tannins. I do not feel that it worth the money I paid for.

  July 11, 2009 - Strong tannin, heavy bitterness without decant, thin bodied, should be better with food, softer after decant but not quite balanced, worth half of the price tag, not a re-buy, saved half bottle for cooking
