Well, glad I kept this for another 6 years to see how it evolved. Cork was in amazing shape. Brick red. Almost tawny in glass. Dried flowers and herbs on the nose. Not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is more dried flowers, roses, leather, the faintest touch of pouch tobacco, plums, dried fig, maybe persimmon. It dries the mouth with tannin and acidity. Definitely secondary flavors starting. Probably the best wine deal I’ve ever had for this type of quality. Wish I had one more to try in 2028. — 16 days ago

Dry, smooth, full bodied wine. This wine was perfect alone, though would be perfectly paired with a red meat. I purchased this wine at Costco of all places typically about 30.00 but got it for a steal at 20.00! It’s fabulous  — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed with brunch. The 2014 is finally open for business and only just. The wine pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black fruit: black berries, black plum, leather, licorice, some cocoa, earth and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Boy, those tannins are still rippin’! Drink now through 2038. Only 50 cases made. — a month ago

Pop a pour (can’t be helped).

NOSE: pomegranate, blueberry,

TASTE: nice acidity, dense berry, bitter herbs. Needs age or air, but still good. 90. — 4 months ago

Coffee and chocolate on top of dark cherries. Nice spice but not as intense as some Amarones I’ve tasted. Very good with our Nana’s Gravy with braised short ribs and tagliatelle — 12 days ago
