Very fruit forward and you can tell it's a young wine. With that said it is well balanced and an excellent wine to drink now or law it down for several years. — 12 years ago
2012 vintage - very deep, dark Cab. Brambly dark fruit aromas. Palate is huge, yet not over the top. Dark berries, stewed plums, licorice and tobacco notes. Very good. — 10 years ago
Starts off weird and almost effervescent...ends in dark over ripe cherries and lushness that is awesome. — 10 years ago
Needed some Barolo in my life!!! This little Rock and Roll Nurse felt like a much needed transfusion. Less Orange-hued than most. Highly affordable. Just a baby, like we Vampires like 'em! Happy to sink my fangs in this one. Chalky Cherries with chunks of plum. Rose snippets. Orange bitters diluted in Armagnac. This has all the mixological possibilities of a great cocktail, only it is propped on a cloud of acidity that screams like a juvenile Jove for a plate of fine food before blasting your mouth with a a lightning bolt of chewy round tannins, then descending like a shower of golden daffodils to sex you up! Ahh Spring!

Wow another stunner. Can't get much better than this. Plums and black fruits with a touch of Eucalyptus, rich and flavorful. CB 93+. — 11 years ago

2014. Barrel sample, needed about three days in a decanter to soften the tannins, purple color, full of fruit, dead-on Gamay, a serious version though, will be picking this wine up on release and aging it a decade. — 10 years ago
