September 5, 2023 - Still drinking well.
Confirms how Carignan can produce compelling wines with good richness and complexity at the same time.
I would have preferred a slightly lower alcohol level, but this is still a nice wine.
Drink over the next few years. -

November 13, 2021 - Very interesting blend to taste. It almost comes across as a Zinfandel based wine. It has the same "vinosity", the over-ripe fruit and texture that you often find in those wines.
It has aged quite nicely as it's well balanced.
Perhaps a little light in complexity but still very pleasant.
should drink well for anothr 3-5 years. -

February 12, 2021 - Decanted an hour but was nice when opened. An hour helped Dark plum, slight leather, coffee, tobacco. Tannins still holding. Surprised by how much I like this wine. Medium body with nice long finish.

January 23, 2021 - Lifted nose dominated by beetroot, dried plums, blueberries, dried apples, quince, dark cherries, supported with spicy notes, slight leather, earthy and tobacco notes. Fine and soft chalky tannins. Very balanced and smooth in the mouth reflective of the nose. Medium to long lingering finish. Love to have more of this wine!!!

March 11, 2018 - Was properly stored in a temperature controlled wine storage since I purchased this bottle, but unfortunately this wine was not enjoyable to drink... even after extended decanting. Lots of gritty sediment and dark deposits all over the bottle. Doesn't appear corked, just way off balance, rough griping flavor, high acidity and unenjoyable aftertaste. Ended up dumping out half the bottle.
