Malo bomb, Smokey, citrus peel, vanilla, sweet coconut, bracing , long length — 10 days ago
Oh yeah, loads of cedar, dried cherry, floral. Still rocking this 90. Layered, built up with nice tannic backbone and just lovely dried fruit and floral touches. Lots of length. Lot going on. Yes, please. — 2 years ago
Big cigar box nose. Floral, soil, smoke, mushroom. Long length, sure but bit dusty and tad dry or what…? dusty tannins really. Grippy. Still has the elegance but I dunno. Kinda boring. — 2 years ago
Fun on the front but quickly drops. Nice notes of floral and has some tar and pretty red fruit but really drops off fast. I wouldn’t think of it more than a quaffer with pizza. — 3 days ago
Hot nose, big floral, fat berry, tar, chocolate. Medium dry tannins, lots of oak, takes away a bit from the fruit. Tight. Needs to breathe. I’ll wait to score. After two hours it’s put on weight. Fruit came out and tannins became well integrated. I’d have given it a 87-88 on opening but now it’s a solid 92. — 2 years ago
Touch of VA…. No contraire, like a lot. Not nice. Flawed bottle that. — 2 years ago
Touch of pepper, decent length, fill up front, mid palate nice. Up front. Jammy, horse shit, barnyard, — 3 days ago
Bracing white with lovely smoke like wafts of lemon, spice, chalk, green grass and lovely mineral foreground. Layered on long on the tongue. Absolutely needs food as on its own maybe a little too bracing but with a nice grilled fish and salad it’s balanced. — 2 years ago
Raisin, smell of wet cobbles after summer rain ( where did that come from?). Ehhhh, over its peak. Lots of dried raisin, floral, cedar, compost. Yes it has length, yes it is layered but it’s just over the hill and dried up. — 2 years ago
