    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;89 points&lt;/b&gt; - Bright red. Quite fragrant, fruity on the nose. Medium bodied. Still a little sharp and some noticeable tannins but very drinkable nonetheless. Will probably be much better in a couple of years but certainly not bad for the money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Wed, Sep 24, 2014.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;92 points&lt;/b&gt; - Dark purple red. Faint port restrained aromas. A consistent MR drying tannins character. A little more intense with a savoury, faint soy sauce finish&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Sat, Feb 4, 2012.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;91 points&lt;/b&gt; - Wow, an interesting wine. Darker than usual Cabernet. Some aged notes shining through, perhaps reminiscent of nori/seaweed. Very well balanced. Good palate coverage and length.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Sat, Feb 4, 2012.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;84 points&lt;/b&gt; - Still young fruit. Out of balance - too acidic. Leafy Minty notes. Notuch tannic backbone left. Drink now, since I don't think this is going anywhere in terms of development. Perhaps over the hill? In any case too sour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Sat, Feb 6, 2010.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;80 points&lt;/b&gt; - Nose is quite savoury, like grilled meats with menthol lift and some fruit in the background. Attack is quite acidic. Out of balance. Palate is unharmonious with fruit sweetness and acidity quite on different levels, out of sync. Lingering acidity in the mouth with dusty wood tasting tannins. Faint raisined characters. After being for a couple of hours in the glass, it turns into a sour mess. Either there's something not quite right with this "gold-winning" bottle, or it's just so pass it's drink by date, or I don't know what.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Sat, Feb 6, 2010.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;92 points&lt;/b&gt; - Jammy strawberry with hints of mint. Intense and round. Mint against a vanilla oak backdrop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Fri, Jun 5, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;92 points&lt;/b&gt; - Cherry blood red. Nose eucalypt layered. Palate is very layered with  a good concerted entry. Tannins are fine and very well integrated. Long finish is balanced with velvety fruit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasted on Fri, Jun 5, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
