    December 18, 2015 - Popped and poured. Opaque inky color. Plum, pepper, blue and black fruit notes. Integrated tannin; flavors of black fruit and plum, spice. Ripe, but not overly so; concentrated. Adds a tar note with air. 8-89 pts.

    June 3, 2014 - Took 20 mins to open Up

    Heavy Body, the syrupyness of the wine has faded now with just big fruit, nice red berrys no traces of oak all intergrated beautifully, after 2.5hrs it started to die

    Conc: For the Price of $35 i was happy with the wine, but dying after 2.5hrs shows a short drinking window, better by itself then with the steak dinner

    May 16, 2014 - I've had a few bottle of this recently. Two showed concentrated palate, and still vibrant flavours of earthy leather and expressive cherry . The last seemed more muted on the fruit and was not as expressive. My sense is that cork integrity had a play in this, but also the wine is soon to be on the decline.

    May 11, 2014 - Consistent notes from before. Lots of black liquorice and blackberry. Ready to drink!
