Impressive nose and made a big first impression. On the sweet side though. High octane, which was noticeable in the nose. — 7 years ago

Never tried this, and wifey recoiled after her first sip, as did I. Nose displays beeswax and spring notes. Palate is oily and viscous, with minimal acidity. Huge dollop of oak complement big layers and complexity. Overtones of maple syrup combine with a quite pronounced oak treatment. I consider this quite unusual and quirky, in a very good way. Excellent example of chard. 94 pts, easily... — 6 years ago

Already a faded almost bricking color. I found the whole cluster/stemmy quality a little too dominant. The fruit is buried and the whole package came across slightly too herbal/lean/underripe to me. Texturally the wine had good lift and highly drinkable. — 7 years ago

Whoa. Dark. Thick. Meaty. Pepper. Could use some time to soften these tannins, but that said, a wonderful wine. I haven't met a wine from Griffin's Lair that I didn't like and I'd say the same for Arnot-Roberts. — 9 years ago

This is all about balance and transparency. Wonderful aromatics. What you smell is what you get, cherries, earth , minerals and cola. My only bottle , very curious how this bottle would have evolved. — 8 years ago
