I needed to drink three bottles of this one before making a proper review. I think this wine will be somewhat divisive. It is one of those wines upon which one's enjoyment is, more than usual, predicated upon tasting order, food pairing or cocktail usage, and above all decanting (as it is still quite young).
There is a lot to like about this blend. It is a big wine with a solid yet complex tannic structure, with some dusty tannins right up front rather than in the finish. There is a healthy dose of caramel oak, but not so much that it tastes like candy (and this decreases with decanting, and, presumably, cellaring). The predominant flavors are those I expect from a Bordeaux blend - dark cherries and mocha -- but with the brighter acidity of a Zinfandel or Syrah.
Bottle number four will languish in my cellar for another year or two, so that I may give Bacchus his due 🍷😸 — 9 years ago

This would work well with organic rack of lamb roasted with potatoes, leeks, scallions and garlic. Drizzle olive oil over cook at 350 for 15 minutes, cover with foil and resume cooking at 300 for 30 minutes. Check package for recommended core temp. — 13 years ago

Wet start to the 2013 vintage turned to warm dry summer into fall. The old vines has similar arc with a splash of big red juice that progressively dessicate a to a cran-cherry fruit -leather roll ups . — 11 years ago
