Jan 5, 2021. W/Caitlin. Purchased 1/2016. Dark fruit (blackberry, blueberry), earthy. Slightly short finish, but that didn’t diminish enjoyment of this wine. — 5 years ago

Getting to its prime, but still deeply saturated and concentrated, mineral-forward with graphite, tar, lit tobacco, blackberry compote, violet, black pepper, earth, bacon fat, licorice, and light barnyard. Mouth-filling, with a finish that sticks like a cigar. Paired unironically and exuberantly with a peppery, fatty smoked brisket sandwich which tasted much like this wine minus the fruit. 375 mL — 8 years ago

Dark berries, violets, forest floor and pepper leap from the glass. Blackberry bramble, leather, plum and roasted meat fills out the palate. The 2013 is still pretty tight - I'd say should really come into its prime in 2019-2020. — 9 years ago

This is a very complex Champagne with earthy, nutty flavors and a hint of stone fruit. I'm looking forward to enjoying another evening trying to parse out its rich flavors. — 10 years ago

Family vacation night one in Wildwood.

BlackBerry, licorice, a bit of smoke, and slate. Very good. Drinking well now with a short decant but has many more years left. — 7 years ago
