Roasted plums, coffee grinds, burnt leather, ratatouille, herbs, power, structure! So much longer to go!

Very deep, dark and intense. Thick deep fruit. Tannins pretty present. Densely packed and powerful. Not a charmer but packs a punch.

Modern style soft Merlot. Easy drinking, but lacking two essential elements: complexity and character

If only my husband had a birthday everyday. Complex, layered, bold. Tasting blind we were sure it was a graves, but this was strong and delicate. Loads of flavor and spice and texture. Love.

2 hour decant(tons and tons of sediment). A remarkable dark garnet with little bricking. On the nose: showy perfumed nose of dark plum, clove, soy sauce, funky earth, sweet spice. Taste: smooth, mouthcoating, concentrated, rich wine with ripe plum, cassis, leather, bitter chocolate, and a long dry spicy earthy finish...ripe fruit and a seriously extracted style at 14.5% alc.
