  September 14, 2012 - Good/Very Good. Dark purple. Rich wine; lots of dark fruit. Not a power house merlot, but was a great complement to oxtail soup. Yummy. <Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk>

  December 14, 2011 - Good/Very Good. Dark purple to the rim. Nose of plums and leather. Palate of plums and oak. I'm missing the coffee and cocoa found in the really rich merlots, but this is a nice bottle of wine. <Wow/Very Good/Good/Fair/Plonk>

  November 13, 2011 - Pop & pour: nose of plum and black cherries. On the palate, more of the same. Not overly complex, but very easy to drink.

  November 5, 2011 - Got much better on the second day, when it softened and evidenced some ripe fruit; however, it had a slightly sour finish and while it was pleasant enough I didn't feel it had a good QPR.
