  May 18, 2019 - Night 1, 250 ml:
  On the nose: everything you ever smelled in a winery or cave that made you want to drink everything they had. Cacao, black licorice, blackberries, scorched cedar. On the palate: If cacao and licorice and grapes had a baby, this would be the wine. Volume set at 11. 94.
  
  Night 2 (same bottle with cork reinserted overnight), 500 ml:
  Still really nice, but everything's toned down. Doesn't want to party. Went really nicely with ribeye and reading the book review. 90.

  March 22, 2016 - Real value for money. Drinking straight from the bottle upon 40 mins of opening it. Will definitely improves with time. No bitter finish with excellent floral nose.

  February 5, 2014 - The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cedar, currants and blackberry. It tastes a little vegetal as a cool region wine , blackberry and blueberry.

  May 7, 2013 - Paid $28.00 (found at wine shop near Panama City, FL). Opened 1.5 hours before dinner but not decanted. Cedar, cigar box, blackberry, black currants on nose. On palate, fruit primary (blackberry, black currants) medium body and medium+ finish. Very enjoyable. 91+/- Like most '09s, was pretty accessible from PNP although better with airtime. Would buy again, especially given the price.
