February 7, 2014 - Gained some weight (the wine, not I) since I last tasted this last summer. The nose is more expressive and there is more complexity, with a bright lingering finish. This may still be getting better. Bumping up my score and lengthening my drinking window, if I can find more.

January 19, 2014 - 86 is about right. '09 was not a great year for this wine. Pleasant enough but lacking real structure and depth.

December 22, 2013 - This bottle was a bit flat and flaccid and missing the rhone herb and spice tones usually encountered. This is unusual for an Unti wine. I have one more bottle from the vintage so will see.

July 2, 2013 - Plummy hue, saturated to the edges. Muted but pleasant aroma of garrigue and berries. Medium concentration but a persistent finish of cranberry and pie crust. Very well balanced and drinking optimally now.
