January 3, 2017 - Smoky, berry nose that follows in to a rich but restrained palate of red fruits, sour cherry and volcanic ash. I liked it, but it fell apart a bit as the night wore on, with that acidity really rising to overpower those early fruit and ash notes.

July 24, 2016 - My last bottle was exactly two years ago today and while this wine has softened and integrated a bit, it has also lost none of the fruit qualities that made it so enjoyable the first time around. Blueberry and redfruit on the nose. Medium bodied and very balanced and smooth. Blueberry and creaminess upfront along with brighter redfruit notes in the background, switching to deeper notes into the finish. The spice and pepper I recall from my first bottle on the finish are now almost completely integrated. Overall, very good complexity and nice balance. This wine is drinking at or near peak, but based on the structure, should continue to drink at this level for a few more years.

May 28, 2016 - PnV. Medium crimson in color and just slightly cloudy. Reticent nose of blue and red berries. Light in texture with great acidity, just like everyone else has mentioned. Lots going on, but somewhat reserved, especially on the nose.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass at 64F.1 person found this helpful Comment -
