  May 11, 2019 - Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 6 *shared* bottles] from 05/10/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Dan, THANK you for sharing yet ANOTHER of your successful "purchases"! ;)
  
  ≈1 hr in a small tasting glass before I got to it; Also, of UNCERTAIN storage before Dan recently obtained it;
  
  N: Some init barnyrd which blows off to creamy oak atop ripe berries
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtins frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by astringent pucker which pretty much resolves by the LONG, balanced finish with a distinct swtness to the fairly innocuous, dusty tannins. Approachable now with food, might still improve a bit, then make its 15th without problem. 14% ABV; My EXC-/EXC.

  June 7, 2015 - A good Malbech. Well stored. Perfect mach to bloody beefs. Good balanced fruit, soft tannins and quite long aftertaste. Almost full bodied.
