  March 19, 2016 - Agree with others that this wine is pleasant enough - nice balance, not too over ripe or extracted - but lacks complexity given the cost.

  January 1, 2013 - Good balance, appropriate structure, but lacking complexity and excitement. A wine I can drink with moderate pleasure.

  December 25, 2012 - This is a good and pleasant wine although I'd like to see a bit more complexity. The colour is deep dark ruby red. Juicy, open and relatively youthful nose. Red berries together with some darker notes. The palate is mid-weight, compact and linear. Perhaps a bit one-dimensional right now but a nice wine anyhow. Longish aftertaste.
