Vibrant red and black fruit, sandalwood, clove and cigar smoke. Licorice on the palate. Fine and seamlessly integrated. Wonderful.

WNH event number 4. Perfect Pizza Pairing bottles. Not a bad bottle in the bunch!
In the running for the WOTW (weekend). What a special wine. Black tea, charred raspberries, and cherry tobacco on the nose. A perfectly weighted palate with cardamom and a blueberry sweetness on the finish. Tannic structure is silky and this is just beginning to get started. Wish I could have paid this more attention. Bravo, @Bill Bender .

Still going strong. Plenty of acid. This has another 10-15 years easy.

Really nice to drink! After the first sip I elected not too decant, it was fairly open and seemed like it was getting mature. That was a mistake as the wine started to really open up with the last sip.
