Nose has similar elements to 07: black cherry, smokey white pepper, licorice. Palate has balanced acid, smooth texture, fruity finish. Great tannins, will last another ten years if cellared well. I ❤️ Paloma! — 12 years ago

Bright but age served it well - letting the Zin and Cab elements meld. Nice cold day sipping wine — 11 years ago
First US Riesling I have had - impressed - good fruit, mineral & structure - would love to taste it with some serious age! — 11 years ago
Super Tuscan at its finest. Cab elements were in the forefront and the other varietals were a strong supporting cast. Lots of $$$ but worth it at least once or twice. Especially vs Antinori... — 11 years ago
Incredible. Beyond amazing. Porty elements with a cake, whipped cream chocolate icing type of nose and flavor profile. Raisins, dates and figs come to mind with chocolate cake on the palate. Long finish. Hands down best wine I've had from Australia. Seriously though, this smelled like chocolate icing. Beyond delicious. — 11 years ago

Savory and delicate. Drink up. Nice nose palate and finish. Milk chocolate and licorice elements with some woody, cedar chest elements. — 11 years ago
