  May 22, 2017 - Ripe fruit on opening but not much depth. Thinking it is past its prime. After breathing the depth improves but the fruit turns more dried and raisin-y.

  October 16, 2015 - Poor quality for a $20 wine Unbalanced, fruit is weak and tastes like starch.

  December 5, 2013 - Aside from the tannins being a tad bold on the finish, I was impressed with the bold dark fruit and spice. Very fruit forward for a French wine. Nice acidity and with food, if shows even better. For $21 I think this is a lovely wine.

  November 9, 2012 - Impressive. Dusty red fruit through the core with a nice cedar element on the nose. Good grip & finish...surprisingly long. Nicely balanced fruit, floral/cedar, and structure. Has a few more years.
