    September 11, 2016 - Didn't even mean to age this. Drinking now in sept 2016. Needed about 45 min. So amazingly Silky smooth, sensuous. Well balanced. Nose of chocolate. Wow.

    August 13, 2011 - I expected very little out of this (it was a gift I never got around to drinking), but it's a decent, if unremarkable, wine. There's a little bit of tannin in the finish to balance out the sweet black cherry up front, but otherwise there's not a lot of complexity here. No noticeable flaws, but no notable highlights.

    June 1, 2011 - From back in a friend's closet, we were expecting very little, if at all drinkable at this point. What a surprise. Really quite nice, balanced, solid fruit and well integrated.

    July 13, 2009 - Very smooth and delicious. Surprisingly good for the price. Not much on the nose, but no defects.
