Dynamite with a polenta board birthday dinner. Just about fully mature. So fragrant. Leather, warm gravel, savory (iodiney) minerals, ripe, rich dark cherry. Rich and balanced in the mouth. Tannins soft and pretty good acids for a ‘15. Concentrated and long. So good. — 6 months ago

Plum jam, ripe blackberries, and slate notes on the nose. Super fruit forward, light tannins, and smooth finish. There's a lingering dark side there, like sun-dried tomatoes. A decent wine for a great price. $6 at Plum Market — 4 years ago

Dynamite. This wine has aged beautifully with ripe dark purple fruits - reminding me of an amarone. Just intense and paired with butcher steak with green leafy salsa verde. — 8 months ago

Sill tightly wound… several hours decanting required. Strawberries and aged balsamic. Prune, raisin, asphalt, iron, port. Delicious. — 2 years ago

Didn’t know what to expect from this wine. It’s been in the cellar for a while, forgotten. Grabbed it to have with some BBQ ribs, collard greens, grilled asparagus, butternut squash, and coleslaw. A dynamite choice. — 4 years ago

2000 vintage. Lean and mean. Has the desired Bordeaux funk in the nose and flavors. Plenty of graphite, cassis and plum aboard with a light-medium body and a grippy, focused finish. A dynamite Margaux. Picking up more. — a year ago

Tastes like a more expensive wine than it is - great value and complexity, spice for $5 — 5 years ago
