May 3, 2019 - Showed some bricking around the edge.
Nose was very nice with hints of secondary aromas - cinnamon, nutmeg, christmas spices. Still lots of dark fruit as well.
Palate was fully developed for me. A nice combination of secondary and primary flavors with perfect integration.
Finish was medium long.
Drinking at its peak for my palate.
Would buy again.
March 12, 2018 - Black red color, dark berry aroma, very concentrated dark berry fruit with a bit of spice, tannins very smooth, finish was powerful (minute +).
March 12, 2017 - We had this with pizza on 3/12/17. It had a deep, fragrant, harmonious bouquet of plum, black cherry, chocolate, sage, anise and spice aromas. The palate was rich, balanced well integrated with flavors of plum, black cherry, chocolate, licorice, spice and minerals.
December 22, 2016 - Exactly like last review. Excellent wine.
December 4, 2016 - A powerhouse of a wine! Solid structure with fruit purity and balance of texture and acidity. Loved it! Wine of the night!
April 30, 2016 - Excellent wine
April 10, 2016 - Brought out to dinner, tasting quite nice right now. Ripe fruit, well balanced. Went well with steak.
May 7, 2015 - More elegant and balanced than I was expecting, this is in a very good place now, but for my palate, not sure it's getting better from here. A pop N pour that showed well across two hours, with supple red and blue fruits on the palate. Meaty, and even a little gamey, with a gentle sprinkling of black pepper and soil. A pleasure to drink and was like something of a magnet to the pancetta in my creamy pasta dish. recommended
Served non-blind.
October 14, 2014 - Crimson in color. 13.7% ABV. Red fruits, leather and anise on the nose. Liquid velvet. Cherries, currants, cassis and molten chocolate cake on the palate. Caressing, silky tannins on a classic finish. Great wine that could go another 3-5 years in the cellar.
June 22, 2014 - Nice bottle of wine and outclassed everything else at the dinner we brought it to tonight. Popped and poured, last glass was the best. Nice fruit, good complexity and longish finish.
Would buy again.
