Everything you'd expect and more. All the rich dark fruit, chocolate and lush purple flowers, but none of the sticky over-ripe flavors. So balanced. — 9 years ago

Great tannin structure, alcohol content compliments it well, beautiful color: nothing inky, great mountain fruit: deep with a long finish. — 13 years ago

Pure expression of old Hermitage, old leather & dried purple flowers, there's still such an intensity of fruit to this though, it's definitely a world class wine... — 10 years ago

Beguiling purity of black and purple fruit and sweet spice on the nose, freshly baked cherry pie, beaut! In the mouth this is rich without cloying and has wonderful ripe red fruited acidity, slick eminently drinkable, subtle beauty — 11 years ago

My buddy asked me for a "big, bold red" and this is what I gave him. He's in love. Deep, dark purple with a magenta rim. The oak is evident with a vanilla sugary explosion on the nose. The palate tastes like a creme brulee with a ton of blackberries and red plums. A lot of people don't care for this big style but when you want it, this is what you should go for. — 10 years ago

Was lucky and grabbed a small tasting of this before it disappeared. I looked through the notes and noticed that believe either love or hate this wine. The color was ruby red with purple hues. Nose was fruit forward with a ton of dark berries and cassis. The palate is thick, plush, voluptuous, extracted with cherries and cassis. Moderate tannins (7/10) and moderate body that still need time to integrate more. Long and lingering finish. Definite potential to improve. — 11 years ago

Flemings for our 13th anniversary. Had again several years later. Deep purple in color. Striking and strong nose. This is a complex blend with a loyal following. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. I bought a 2015 from LA Wine Co in July of 2017 and opened in November of 2017. — 12 years ago
