I screwed up and didn't buy cases of this instead of only four bottles for $35/btl. Each one has been better than the last. Black fruit with a touch of herb to round it out. Tannins are mellowing but still enough struction to maintain balance. Sweet fruit but not cloying or over the top. This will continue to get better over the nect 5 to 7 years. My last bottle will probably be long gone by then.

I just bought this on closeout for $35/btl and I'm happy I did. Still very young and primary. Nose is still showing its 14.5 alc and hopefully it will integrate over the next few years. It has the stuffing to be a very nice wine with dark fruit popping thru.

In a great place. Has improved tremendously since my last bottle 3+ years ago. I would drink this every day, all day.

Need time to rest In the cellar. Quality now, but will be much better down the road.
