August 3, 2015 - Andrew Lai bbq 2015
February 1, 2014 - Bordeaux style and lots of fruity notes. Matured tannins and fair balance. Better now than a few years back.
February 6, 2013 - Dark red/black, tending to red at the rim - slight tar on the nose, then muted menthol and plums. Needs 2-3 hours in the decanter, medium to full bodied, a bit sweet and muddy on the palate, slightly grainy tannins (receding).
March 1, 2012 - lots of dark fruit, but also jammy ind the style. It taste good but it is a bit to simple for 13 bucks. Buy it if you can find it for 10 bucks or less.
January 13, 2012 - Very nice body, full body in deep red color. Taste is nice in the begining with blackberry and some oak. However, there is some green pepper which i hated. The most dissapointing aspect is finishing, where there is none. This wine takes you bungie jumping - going straight down.
November 14, 2011 - nose of plum, cassis, coffee, and smokey berries. Concentrated on the palate with plenty of fruit. Not the typical green chilean cab. Finish is a bit clipped. Went great with food.
November 9, 2011 - Black cherry and black currant flavour with full body and good depth and finish.
November 6, 2011 - This is an intense wine that is dark jammy and rambunctious. It seemed to lack cohesion at the end.
July 30, 2011 - A well balanced and powerful wine. On first opening an overt quantity of fruit that dissipates within an hour or so to reveal a finer core with a more classical makeup. Tannic. Good value for the money (GBP 11.25 for case qty).
June 22, 2011 - Argentine and Chilean Wines assessed: current releases and other thoughts (620 Jones, San Francisco, California): Redolent, red berry, baked plum, cassis nose; tight, velvety textured, tart cassis, red plum palate; needs 102 years; medium-plus finish 88+ points
