Enjoyed 2014 vintage May 2024. Very smooth tannins, full bodied, sadly only one other bottle to enjoy from this vintage. This wine could even last a few more years. — a year ago

Very smooth, only slightly fruity with a moderately full body. Good with our butternut squash pasta, might not hold its own against a sirloin. But I’m searching for more! — 3 years ago

2001 in Nov 2019 with old friends. Lovely full, deep texture, had it before a salmon dinner and really served as an appetizer, so complete and satisfying. Slight cinnamon with absolutely no edge. — 6 years ago
