Wow, an amazing wine. Not the 100 points Parker gave it but still excellent. Lots of blueberry on the nose and first sips. I could get use to this!

Dense, high extract, very polished, rich and viscous. Packed with ultra ripe blue and black fruits, sweet oak, exotic spices, cocoa. Tannins are ripe and suave without having the muscular nature like ‘13, they still show the ‘14 vintage in their graceful character. Did not really get the Howell Mtn mineral note I usually find, perhaps too young to express it?

From the man who brought the delectable world Big Santa (@Martin G Rivard ), I'd like to introduce and thank @Lawrence Rozenberg (IG: winezmything). He forced me (at gunpoint) to infanticide this baby Outpost he graciously sent and man it's good. I don't normally rate young wine this high! Big structure but smooth and approachable. Rare combination.

A little too early as it’s a really inky sweet wine. Too much black cherry, and ripe fruit. Needs some time.

This is really good! Black cherry, cocoa, and pipe tobacco notes with a big, luxurious mouthfeel.

This is an absolutely epic wine.. smooth yet beautifully extracted with notes of blueberries, blackberries and light plum sauce! Soft tannins ... a beauty!!

100pts might truly be understating the experience of this one! A big bowl of blueberries,blackberries with a finish that has exceeded the typing of this note. Yum
