Nice chardonnay with pleasantly present oak character and butteriness, well balanced wine — 2 months ago
First of four bottles from cellar. Very flavorful from nose to finish. Interesting taste of liquorice in the finish.. a bit too much so need to see if that persists over the aging years. Overall a wonderful, expressive wine. — 3 months ago
Pretty dark purple in color. Aroma has a big caramel impression with some dried fruits layered in - think date. Body is heavy syrup like that finishes velvety. Great balance between a tart acidity and medium sweetness. Age has been very kind to this bottle. — 4 months ago
Nearing the end of its window but still drinking well. — a month ago
Was worried that this would be fruity and oaky. I should’ve known not to worry. The nickel family is serious about this wine. It’s very dark and I fear too young. Stood up very well with steak and punched back. Hit it with 100% pure oxygen and it’s still tight. Has some nice savory notes hiding the fruit here. Feel like I’m eating the wine. But I like it. — 3 months ago
14.5% abv. Lovely delicious wine. It was strange that first sip was so off but in a matter of minutes it transformed into a gorgeous wine. Paired with caviar and sushi. Perfect match. — a month ago
Smooth, with a hint of leather. Silky mouth full of black fruit, jammy, but not sweet. Very sexy! — 4 months ago
