May 10, 2014 - Chocolate, cherry and a hint of lavender on the nose. The initial hit is a savoury one - meat cooked with herbs - but the mid-palate is almost non-existent and it finishes with a whimper, when,for a brief moment, there is the reminder that cherry may once have been here.
August 20, 2013 - Dried fruit. Lost its vibrancy and luscious fruit character I remember. Waited too long.
May 21, 2013 - Nose of geraniums over soft rose petals and red fruit. In the mouth harmoniously smooth and light with hints of leather and spice. A pleasant CdRV wine.
August 24, 2011 - Not showing as well as it did on release. May be in dumb stage. Tannic, closed. Faint raspberry and strawberry flavors; aromas more assertive.
August 13, 2011 - Pretty good for the price, albeit not exactly my style - big and luscious. A little peppery. Soft acids - feel like this should be consumed in the next 2-3 year.
December 12, 2010 - Hedonistic profile with copious raspberry and strawberry flavors, unctuous, lingering finish, hint of blackpepper. Not a wine for the long run, but delicious for current drinking.
August 18, 2010 - A bit warmish, not very complex, but still fresh. Easy to enjoy.
