Lovely garnet colour. Dark fruit, some spice, a touch of mint and pencil shavings on the nose. Too sweet for my taste on the palate but good balance of acidity and ripe tannin. Plump ripe texture. — 2 days ago

Welp this wine is fucking weird and I like it. Tastes smokey like my lapsang souchang tea, but also crisp and funky. I feel like this needs a very special cheese pairing; made a comte grilled cheese which was close. — 5 years ago

Strawberry, chocolate, tobacco, cherry. The Cabs and Malbec play wonderfully together. — 6 months ago

On first opening, bouquet of black cherry and blackberries, Big Red cinnamon gum, bell pepper, and smoky bowling alley; palate of black cherry and plum, char, and black tea with a medium-short finish. On the second day the candy and bell pepper smells taper, bowling alley becomes more of a whiff of pipe smoke, blackberry bramble emerges with spent firecrackers; on the palate the black pepper spice has some herbs de provence, black tea tannins are rounder and the cherry flavor more tart, a fuller body on the finish with notes of char, meat fats, and pepperoni spices. Was gonna go with 89 but it’s impressive once you decant for a day. — 3 years ago
