October 27, 2021 - Dark color, big and jammy, but oxidized. Not my style anymore. I will have to consider that bolognese.
September 5, 2021 - Pretty gross. Used for bolognese.
March 5, 2020 - 14.5% Showing tertiary notes- old leather, earth. Still inky dark red, no fading. In the mouth plums, licorice. Decent amount of tartness, tannins fully integrated. 13 years old and stunningly good for the price. The winemaker no longer owns the winery though.
January 27, 2015 - One flavour, defies description. Not fizzy so perhaps a cooking wine?
December 13, 2013 - Solid, nicely balanced and tasty - not exciting though
September 17, 2013 - Sweet black fruit throughout, simple but very easy to enjoy.
August 3, 2013 - Just enough "off" not to drink. Drink now if you have any left.
June 16, 2013 - Medium ruby red, with a little purple tinge. The nose has raspberries, toast, and some herbal notes. Medium bodied, I didn't find this too big or extracted at all. Nice fruit, maybe just a little bit hollow. Good balance, just slightly on the soft side. Very good, and an insane value at $14.
May 27, 2013 - Great "quaffer".
May 19, 2013 - Sweet fruit, herbs and pencil. A little thin on the palate and lacking acidity, but fun and easy.
