2003 vintage. Just enuff acidity to lord over the proceedings. Initially, “cheesy.” That dissipates somewhat and gets very harmonious very quickly. Cleans up a bit on the finish. Should be able to glide hither and yon for another 5-7 years at this level. 1.10.24. — 2 years ago

Please dear lord let it open to its full goodness. So far not. But the rich potential is there. — 3 years ago

Bursting with bright red fruits and herbs. Long finish and lingering dusty tannins. Yum. Just yum. — 6 years ago

A fine medium bodied merlot, a fantastic finish, not too dry at all. Berry scents of blackberry and cherry on the nose. — a year ago

2008, oops. Either it’s good I accidentally opened this on my own or I’m mean. Needs manchego dang it, and all I’ve got is this hobo pizza a made. Not past it, funky in the right ways. And it may have been cheap.

I hour later after said pizza: Weirdly, it’s all chocolate cherry. — 3 years ago

Good lord…I can’t even taste any alcohol. Amazing balance, not jammy, finishes smooth. — 5 years ago

2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — a year ago

A bit fizzy that stays and enhances the mineral aspect
There are red fruits and spices plus a bonus decoration of herbs
Super smooth even though quite vertical
