  April 13, 2021 - So, sadly not many bottles out there and this was my last. What a pleasant surprise. This wine is drinking like a top tier aged Cabernet. A hint of Amarone type flavors but very subtle and cloaked into a nicely faded oak and chocolate base. MMMMMMMMmmmmm.

  Murky ox-blood, full bodied
  Raspberries, unripened cherries, fruit leather, paper
  Dry, acidic, medium finish. Fruit fading by second hour.
  Definitely at its peak. Rapid decline from here although the last bottle i consumed, from same vintage was wonderful. Don't take the chance. Drink NOW!!!!

  June 4, 2017 - Deep dark ox blood. Full bodied. High ABV
  Light oak. Vanilla. All spice. Dark fruit. Leather
  Thick. Wonderfully balanced. Tannin still there. Smooth
  Medium plus finish.
  
  Wow! LOVE this bottle! Amazing alone or with grilled food.
  Very good value. Every cellar should hold some of this.
  Drinking at its peak now.
