Thick and opaque in the glass. Dark and brooding. Still ruby. Nose of dark fruits, lead pencil, a little menthol and saddle leather. Great roundness in the mouth. Everything is integrated. Still young. Yes. Still young. — 10 years ago
Expensive? Overly so. Too large of production to consider this a rare find? For sure. Delicious? Hell yes! — 11 years ago
Tres Beautiful nose 👃👃👃
Caramel apple-banana brûlée top notes, pear and spice underneath, still-pert lemon zest and peach custard, too. Palate delivers that Cali-leonine body -ie big! - but with enough brisk acidity to keep things more than decent. Long, with flavors that echo the nose and all around beautiful balance. Drinking super well at moment, near its peak and rewarding this bit of bottle age with plenty of secondary characteristics. PLUS:: #winebling (yes, there are some tartrate crystals, folks - all just adding to the allure - game on!) — 10 years ago
Dark chocolate and a bit of cayenne pepper, definitely some backbone here. Long sassy plum finish. @BedrockWineCo YES! — 11 years ago
Oh I love this! Balanced, subtle but there- aromatics of peach blossoms, banana, pineapple. I said "oh hell yes!" when I tasted this one. — 10 years ago

A babe in the woods, yes. The aromatics are a fantastic foreboding of what is to come. — 10 years ago
