2012 tasting - This transparent red has an excellent bouquet with a flavor that is awesome.

2011 tasting - A semi-opaque red with a sweet, young bouquet, this wine has a flavor of excellence and an aftertaste with tart, buttery hints.

2010 tasting - This blackish blend has a dry, grapy bouquet coupled to a strong, interesting, very tannic flavor followed up by a tart, grapy aftertaste.

2009 tasting - This dark red has a complex, slightly sweet bouquet coupled to a dry, grapy flavor with butter hints and a dry, chewy aftertaste. Will be great in 2 years.
