Bright aromas of sour red cherries, rhubarb, earthy spice and some savorury/stalky herbal qualities. Both and weight both immaculate. Supple, fluid, intense and great length. Drinking well now with develop just stating to peek through the primary fruits. Still has time. — 9 years ago

Texture. That's what makes this wine so damn enjoyable. It's loaded with dark chewy fruit and a hint of dusty chocolate. Round and smooth and voluptuous. The nose isn't amazing and it's not an intellectual wine, but bloody hell it's nice and keeps calling for another sip. It even carries the high alcohol pretty well (but maybe avoid it on a hot day). And it's $12! Crazy. Except that it's hard to get hold of. — 10 years ago
Great wine! Will age well! — 10 years ago
Beautiful tropical nose with clear hints of vanillin oak. This has serious presence on the pallet and the texture shows serious restraint that really pays off, it is so supple and perfectly delicate and fresh. Touch of granite minerality. WOW!
Seriously outstanding. — 10 years ago
