Brick in colour, fruit was still strong and it has been awhile but this wine gave me a very strong sense of place. Maybe it was nostalgia but I would have known it was Walla Walla blind folded. — a month ago

Drank this 2020 vintage way too soon. But I am not sure of its merits anyway. There was no nose (smelt barnyardy) and the finish was metallic. Saved it to try the second day and it was a little better paired with Neapolitan pizza. Will give it another 5 years before trying again. — 2 years ago

Still lots of tannins, fruit, and structure for a 17 year old wine. Had with Steak au Poivre and it was a beautiful match. — 2 months ago

Drank it with my Mom on her 82nd birthday. It has aged beautifully. The cork broke but we decanted and let air for two hours. Mild fruit but balanced acid and tannin expression was soft. Finish was medium and velvety. — a year ago

Wonderful fruit for a 16 year old wine. Still lots of structure, flavour was smooth and fruit large. Colour just on the verge of brick with lots of red and purple still. Would still be good for another 5-10 years. Cork broke, had to decant but glad we did. — 9 months ago

It has lost all fruit on nose and palate. I waited to long to drink it. Just left with acid and tannins — a year ago

This wine was beautiful. Had it with the first if the season stews and the pairing was spot on. With 14 years of aging it still showed lots of fruit but the finish was smooth, velvety and copasetic. Wish all my wines had this finish! — 2 years ago
