Planned ahead and got some venison to have with this wine, and the combination sang. Pretty nose. Fruit and tannins that worked oh so well with the food. The few sips one its own were less in balance, but still an enjoyable drink. I recall tasting this upon release - the tannins ripped the roof of my mouth off. Time has been kind to it. Sad, however, to see that The Phantom label has now degenerated to experimental batches. I liked the earlier commitment to the varietal. — 9 years ago

Dark fruit Leather funkiness. Great acidic pop throughout (though I'm getting a phantom-like petillant effect). In some ways reminded me of a stranger la Rioja Alta Gran Reserva Rioja...
I think this is fermented by carbonic maceration? (no cap punch down or pump over, say the winemakers...) I plan on *definitely* buying this again. Faugères in the house! — 9 years ago

Reminds me of Phantom. Bold fruit, tons of oak, very new world. I taste zin but they claim to be using Bordeaux grapes. Either way, great with a rack of lamb! — 10 years ago

In awe that this '03 has such staying power. Nose. Fruit. Ripe tannin. Acidity. Length. Yowzah! — 10 years ago

Very fruit forward, but balanced. Soft tannins makes it very drinkable, but the soft tannins doesn't mean it's unstructured. Well done. — 9 years ago
