December 25, 2015 - This took a good three hours to fully open. At that point, it all came together wonderfully. Purple color, with medium body and strong legs. Powerfully fragrant on the nose, with deep spice notes. On the palate dark berries, winter spices, and a touch of anise, with engaging tannins throughout. The finish lingers with a hint of evergreen at the end. Enjoyed with Jan on Christmas day.

June 8, 2015 - As before, dense fruit driven Cab, but with a good backbone. Has improved over the last year and some of the harder edges have gone. Drinks well now, but will last several more years.

August 21, 2014 - Delicious! Wine has matured and improved dramatically since my last try in 2012. A real surprise. Smooth tannins, wonderful fruit. Ready to drink now. Full bodied.
