Sweet dark fruits, nice oak contribution and integration, mellow round mouthfeel, bright and balanced acidity. Excellent new world take on classic Bordeaux blend. Old world stylings with new world ripeness. — a year ago
Lovely apple and yeast notes. Showing a touch of age and oxidation, but still rich and luscious. — a year ago
Still holding up well. Many years left. Beautiful acid, balanced tannin. — a year ago
Beautiful fruit, nuanced, very nice. Only ding is that it is a bit thin late-mid through the finish. — 23 days ago
Lacking balance. Light color. Lean palate. Moderate tannin. Leather, dried apple and dried cherries. Interesting but disjointed. Maybe I waited too long…? — a year ago
Lush fruit, good balance, great choice of oak. Very well done. Showing beautifully now but likely has another 5-8 yrs. — a year ago
26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins. — 8 months ago
Dense and ripe. Nice barrel tones - prominent but well integrated. Rich dark fruit finish. Showing well and still has plenty of time/life left. — a year ago
Took a long time to open after 20 years. Plenty of Brett influence, but on the leather side, not unpleasant. Rich, dark cherry, fairly thin body, tannins are super mellow at this point. — a year ago
