Spot on with nearly ten years of age. Not sure if it was the careful winemaking or the saran/tin liner in the stelvin.
Pours a pale ruby. Nose is an amalgam of tart plum, rose hips, sour red cherry, damp stone and a hint of clean earthy hummus. Palate feel was elegant, acid dominated with a light/medium body and a lovely, sapid, invigorating finish. This reminded me of very good village level or middling premium Cru Burg from the 90's. I'm guessing this had some stem inclusion due to the slightly menthol/ever so vaguely green tone in the aftertaste. Very, very good. Too bad I only had one bottle. — 2 years ago
Very tasty and earthy Sangiovese from Lou wine shop — 4 months ago
For a 2018, it's still a little tight, although Spanish wines do tend to last longer on the shelf. A dark luscious red garnet color with a tin-sharp nose of fresh cave mossberry, whatever that is. First taste hits with gooseberry and apricot, super-dry medium-light body wash grabs for another sip as the final taste draws out strawberry jam with a cranberry bread tart finish. — 9 months ago
Pretty fruit—classic Sangiovese nose. Very nice food wine. — 2 years ago
This inky, Merlot-dominant blend is a full-on Goth wine: dark currants, dark cherries, dark blueberries…
The oak is restrained and the jamminess is less than in recent releases. A bit of decanting helps to reduce the jam factor a lot.
I’m still not completely sold on the “new and improved” Langtry wine style, but I see this as a solid step in the right direction, perhaps someday restoring Old Soldier Road to its former greatness. — 5 months ago

Tasted the 2017 and 2018 at the winery in Tin City, Paso Robles. We preferred the 2018, more fruit forward and less tannic..
