Purchased directly from the winery. Stored and cellar properly. Showing its age with bricking in color. Cherries, some pleasant bramble, light on the pallet, short, mid palate and short finish. Acidity was nice and the tannins velvety.

Bought directly from winery, stored in optimal conditions 3+ years, pnp, enjoyed over 2 days. Nose had bit of ripe dark cherry, but interestingly a bit of funky cheese also. Palate red fruit and some earthiness, very nice. Palate begins robust then fades, though not unpleasant. Definitely showing some benefits of age, can be seen in the color, smelled in the nose and tasted on the palate. Its nice now, may try a few more over the next 18 mos. Some have mentioned this may go into a dumb phase, its not there yet but will keep an eye on it. What a fun, interesting wine, great weekday pour. I had with pan seared steak, the food was too much for it, but I think a roast chicken or chicken with a cream sauce would pair very nicely. 88 on a hard scale, if age tunes it up a little score has potential to rise.

Drank half the bottle on day 1 and second half on day 3. Tastes of red and darker fruits really flattened out on the day 3 pour even though it was kept in fridge. Probably should have finished on day 2.

Drinking nicely. A little on the light side especially on the finish. But has some personality and I really enjoyed it.
