    July 19, 2013 - Initial opening, run through the ventura into a decanter. Dark purple lightening towards the edges. Black Forest fruits, and dark blood plum flavours. Lovely flavours. Looking forward to having it with the scotch fillets in the fridge.

    December 11, 2011 - awesome wine full bodied but smooth, definitely improved after it had been opened for awhile. Great value

    September 23, 2011 - Ehh decent. Lacks refinement. It's a good value though.
