Insanely young, however just needed to try this. Double decanted, but still pretty much an impenetrable fortress. The nose is completely intoxicating; molasses, caramelized brown sugar, fresh Madagascar vanilla bean. The palate explodes with black and purple fruits; black plum, cassis, Christmas spice cake, blackberry tart, crushed allspice, deep mineral rich soil, field stones. Finishes with awesome structure. Bury this in the cellar for at least 5 years, more like 10.

Others liked this better but I’m saying it had a slight raisin aftertaste to me which has shown up recently. I’m thinking to drink these quick but to be fair they have not been in a cold cellar so expected a faster age.

Long day. This is the wine you pull from the cellar. You know it will be amazing. No question. Safe bet - no. This is a sure thing.

Ok, so this really could have waited - but pandemic, election, end of the world - why wait. Thomas brown and the team at Maybach have just created a consistent wine - smooth (even young), light tannins, velvety, cassis and coconut yet strong cedar on the nose. Oakville Napa - just incredible.

Time to check in on the 16, 😬😋
Still has some heat to it, but great nose makes up for it. 15 years left easy.

Worth release price but seriously not a $350.00 bottle
