April 12, 2020 - Still had a great nose! Moderately aggressive attack, good mid palette, and nice finish that wasn’t too heavy in the tannins. This has aged well!

December 4, 2015 - Not surprised, this bottle continues to evolve. TC releases wines young, so in spite of the modest price, this wine has 4+ years left. Fruit is ripe but balanced, tannins and acid are balanced too. Very good qpr.

January 3, 2014 - Dreadful disappointment. This vintage just didn't cut it. Don't care enough to figure out why, too much other good wine to drink.
