Tried this 4 years ago! Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits and complex spice. On the palate flavors of ripe concentrated blackberry, cherry and currants, still fresh and vibrant with a great mouthfeel, well balanced. Tannins were soft and full, long finish ending with cigar box spice, cedar and cacao. An elegant wine, developing nicely, great drinking now and will continue to develop through next decade. Wow!

Ripe blackberry and cassis, jalapeño and mint, medium + acid backbone and extremely noticeable tannins, but smooth with great finish. Paired with beef wellington...

Super polished! Very nicely balanced bouquet of aromas from the start. Fells complete. Elegant. I can't really pinpoint the components here so sorry for the bland note but it's a damn fine wine at least. Black currants! That's something specific at least.

Young but wonderful. Black fruit and still some strong tannins. Needs time BV

Tight as can be. A real monster. The aromatics are expressive but everything is just a tightly wound knot on the palate. Will be great, give it time.

Infanticide, part deux... can't way to try this again in several years. Power. Great density. Will be fun to see the layers unfold.

Great density and complex. Tightly wound right now. Will be great in 10 years.
