February 4, 2022 - Might have waited a bit too long on this one. Drinkable and reasonably enjoyable, but it had probably seen better days. Candied red fruits. Not rating.

November 3, 2019 - In a really good spot right now. The fruit has mellowed a bit. Still some nice tannin to cut through richer meat dishes.

November 21, 2014 - very dark inky color. Very nice nose of berries. Still very fruit forward with a decent finish. This wine is still very young and has probably 5 yrs of age worthy ahead. Though I believe with 2-3 hours of decanting it isn't going to get much better. I would drink b/n ow and the next 3 years.

March 4, 2012 - Very inviting nose, lush mouth-feel with a nice helping of oak and a peppery sweet finish. It seemed like it was more aged in that it was so well integrated and ready to drink.
