In a very good place. Nice combination of red plum fruit, mild smoked pork and minerals. A medium bodied wine that has itself together without being showy. Good not great length. (91)

Drank at a BYO wine dinner. A lot thought this was the star of the evening. Smooth, silky, and refined. Slight raspberry fruits up front with subtle pepper and spice.

This wine has really transformed in the last 2 years. Great nose of beef blood, bacon, and dried lilacs, the tannins are now a soft, silky texture, and the wood has integrated from the foreground to the back. The taste and finish is ok but the nose is killer.

Dark cranberry/purple. Tobacco, pimento, coffee, black pepper, and grape juice. Decent acidity with dusty tannins. Long grape juice finish. Interesting bottle, but stale. Fell apart quickly in the glass.
