Sweet dark fruits, nice oak contribution and integration, mellow round mouthfeel, bright and balanced acidity. Excellent new world take on classic Bordeaux blend. Old world stylings with new world ripeness. — a year ago

Slow to open, but after a couple hours it really started to sing. Slightly tired, loads of tertiary character (duh), fruit surprisingly good at this stage. Over delivered on expectations. — 2 months ago
Beautiful fruit, nuanced, very nice. Only ding is that it is a bit thin late-mid through the finish. — 5 months ago
Lacking balance. Light color. Lean palate. Moderate tannin. Leather, dried apple and dried cherries. Interesting but disjointed. Maybe I waited too long…? — a year ago
Just hitting its stride. Rich nose, lush black cherries on the palate, silky tannins. Still has a long time left. — 2 months ago
Light and lovely. Great balance and just the right amount of spice. — 3 months ago
26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins. — a year ago

Took about 2 hours to open. Dark & dried cherries. Acid still nice and firm. Tannins still going strong but clearly softer and more fine grained. Feels somewhat unbalanced - good acid, good tannin, not enough fruit. May have missed the optimal window. Still very enjoyable. Only a touch of Brett. — 3 days ago
