March 29, 2013 - Rich and meaty with candied fruits and maybe even a hint of smoke. Deep ruby color and moderate mouth feel. A little cola and spice. Oak on the finish, but not enough to make this a good food wine. It overwhelmed our roast chicken.

May 6, 2012 - a bit hot and out of balance, nice rich fruit but needs to integrate. Perhaps drank too early? score may not be fair
