The nose on this wine is stunning baring the alcohol heat. Perfumed red florals and candied dark and lighter red fruits. While the wine is truly elegant, the alcohol is seriously burning the back of my throat. The bottle reads 14.1 but I think over 15 degrees. Maybe, they wanted to save on the higher alcohol tax. The wine starts so beautifully only to burn the back of my throat. The fruits are ripe, elegant and beautifully soft. Blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, raspberries, faint back palate of strawberries, sweet/soft leather, black licorice, violets & roses, rich delicate & sweet wet black earth, soft light baking spices, caramel, milk chocolate, figs & dates, amazingly sweet dark minerals, touch of black tar, touch of spice and a rich long elegant dark fruit liqueur finish. I would score this wine higher if it didn't punish my palate and throat with the burning alcohol finish. — 10 years ago
Opened at kickoff of the Seahawks-Carolina game. Really in a perfect spot much like the Seahawks were during that second half beatdown. This amazingly still poured dark deep purple, like Ritchie Blackmore. Perfect tannins frame ymmy dark fruit. Man, glad a have a few more in the cellar. — 11 years ago

The old man on the mountain never disappoints. Big, bold and brawny. The mountain fruit just has punch enough to hold up to the tannins in this big boy. The nose is tar, blackberries and menthol. 12 years old and still has a long life left. — 10 years ago
