A split rating between Lesley and Harry. Light tannins but slightly peppery very smooth across the palette…yummy! Especially sitting next to the Raspberry patch and eating my best burgers ever and broccoli harvested moments before cooking. TBD - s’mores are next on the agenda. Wish you were here!! — 2 months ago
5/2024. Very nice blend. Full of flavor. Sits well on the palate. Good finish. Paired well with the grilled bone in pork chop at Mr. Friendly’s. — 4 months ago

Medium deep ruby , garnet rim . Quite aromatic with spicy herbal cassis , tobacco , grafite and warm earth . Quite round on the palate with herbal cassis , blackcurrant and a touch of spice . Ok acidity and rounded tannin, not bad length. This is drinking well now and will continue over the next 5-10 years — 4 months ago

Lovely wine, just a tad far down the evolutionary road (guessed 1998).
Based on this bottle, I’d say drink up. — 22 days ago
