  November 23, 2018 - Although this is past its peak, yet quite fun; there’s a firm middle, bright acidity and enjoyable aged nuances. Antique shop, cranberry, pumpkin pie spice and burnt sage. A medium finish and a body within the same realm. If you own this please drink soon. Drink now.

  September 2, 2014 - this wine has hung around for 13 years and remains enjoyable. needs a meal to pair with as not the presence to star on its own. But with a meal maintains good acidity with solid but reserved fruit and some modest secondary flavors. never going to set world on fire and past its best but still provides some enjoyment.

  February 6, 2012 - Smells of cherries and berries, especially strawberries. Cloudy and light colored with lots of tannins when first opened. Mellowed out a bit, but unfortunately past its prime. Tart without much fruit left on the palette. Good, but not great.

  June 1, 2011 - Pale, garnet-pink. Nose of tomatoes, green bean, allspice, vanilla. Very high acidity. Narrow and tart in the mouth with bizarre tomato flavor. We didn't enjoy this bottling at any stage (on release, nor at four/six/ten years of age); the fruit must have been quite unripe at harvest. Ugh.

  August 22, 2009 - Some people thought it was corked / flawed - I just thought that the wine is beyond its prime and the fruit had dissipated. Wasnt undrinkable.
