Rich really liked. Peppery, little tangy but smooth. Air it. That really makes it nice — 8 months ago

Raspberry, clove dominant baking spice, some forest greenery, touch of dried cranberry, cherry, but really well balanced. Just lovely mouthfeel. — a year ago

Austere. Nose starts pretty reticent - Wood and spice and a little fruit- then blossoms with some elegant purple florals after several hours. This will become wonderful with time and be a keeper based on balance and concentration at this point. — 3 years ago

This is turning out to be a great vintage for Justin. Let it open up a little bit and it’s extraordinary for the price point. Coming out of a half bottle, because the winery hasn’t released the 750’s yet. Shows wonderful complex fruit with ample tannic structure. Not much acidity going on, but will be a great vintage to drink now. Haven’t seen as good as a vintage as the 2017, since the 2013 vintage. — 6 years ago

Impressive right now and can only get better. Still primary but still too young g at this point for any nuance. — 6 months ago

A bit reductive/flinty. Textural, mineral. Not giving up much fruit. High acid. Thankfully none of that cheap NZ gooseberry or cat piss. Pretty nice now with food. I think it I’ll save my next bottle until 2026. — 8 months ago

Interesting comparison between the Fulldraw and Tynan wine. Both were opened about 2hrs. The flavor profile is somewhat similar between the two, showing chocolate and dark blue fruit for the Tynan and red fruit for the Fulldraw. Great spice and pepper with each. The main difference is with the tannins and finish. The tannins on the Tynan are fairly noticeable (in addition to some heat) while the Hard Point’s are already integrated. The finish on the Hard Point is incredibly long and luxurious. @Connor McMahon exceptional wine — 6 years ago

Tasting great right now. Needs about an hour of air and even better at 2-3hours. Cherries, minerals, game almost blood sausage like, pepper, hint of baking spice. It’s light despite these flavors. Initially it had a manure funk that has completely drifted away. A lot of tart cherry and berry smashed onto a stone plate. It’s really unique. Hope I have more of this one somewhere in the cellar. — 8 months ago

Notes of vegetal with slight bell pepper abounds with plump red fruit. Decanted and wow, restrained and loose when paired with fondue and risotto. — 3 years ago

Always love Lopez but at this point I may prefer the Bosconia. This has a bit too much oak on cork pop but with some air everything integrated. Great structure and precise acid. Nice. — 7 years ago
