Lucious, still very fruit forward with a long finish. Still tannic - could use another 5-10 in storage. Great wine - will try another +1 year out. — 8 years ago
You almost need a sixties sound track when sipping. Nice, earthy smell and taste, like Woodstock. — 9 years ago
David’s fav. @ woodstock & vine. — 7 years ago
The nose shows sweet & a touch sour floral fruits. Some of the fruits have a baked quality. Ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, stewed plum, baked cherries & black raspberries & dry cranberries. Dark chocolate, soft, delicate minerals, light spice, light layered baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon & clove. Some dates, figs & prunes, star anise, saddle-wood leading to cedar, dark, rich, sweet soil, dry rock powder, steeped fruit tea and dark fresh & withering florals.
The body is medium and tannins are round and soft. The flavors are ripe & delicious. The fruits are slightly baked & stewed. Ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, stewed plum, baked cherries & black raspberries & dry cranberries. Dark chocolate, soft, delicate minerals, light spice, light layered baking spices; vanilla, cinnamon & clove. Some dates, figs & prunes. Anise, saddle-wood leading to cedar, dark, rich, sweet soil, dry rock powder, steeped fruit tea and dark fresh & withering florals. The acidity fresh, lively and like a waterfall. The finish is flushed out. Balanced, easy to drink but it seems like the bottle might have been longer than optimal as it showed a touch faded. For $350 a bottle at the winery, one can do much better at that price point. That’s not to say it wasn’t a good wine.

Petrol-y in that way great old Rieslings are. At Rootstock in Woodstock. — 7 years ago
Seriously, Malibu. Do you have to use an inch of wax to seal every bottle? You're really making me work for this one. Ripe black cherry and baking spice entices the nose. Young bright and fun on the palate. It's definitely equipped for aging across the decade. Just have a machete handy to bust through that wax. Paired tonight's offering with a massive rare tomahawk steak. Nom nom. — 7 years ago
Went quite well with a beef fillet at a great restaurant in Woodstock Vermont.
Would order again.
Have its close cousin in my own cellar, quite close; blackberry, subtle tannins, a bit of leather and spice, currant.
Overall nice bottle! — 9 years ago
2013 smooth and delicious - purchased in Woodstock VT for $16.99. Had garlic before drinking so may have more flavor/body if tried before such a meal. — 9 years ago

Opened on 28th Sept 2018. Moroon brown. Heavy body. Heavy nose with deep wood and oak with a tinge of berries. Very mellow in scent. Not exciting but vintage nose. Acidic to palate with some sweet note. Heavy tannin. Long finishing. — 7 years ago
Great. Keeping a few to drink in a couple of years. Will be even better then. — 7 years ago

A gem from our McLaren Vale trip in Australia. Sandalwood and dark fruit aromas with a plush weighted mouth presence busting with blackberries, blueberry, and tingling tannins powered by notes of black pepper and vanilla finishing smooth and silky — 6 years ago
