100% Pinot Noir. Medium-gold colour. Aromas of cocoa, currant, biscuits, and nuts. Medium-full bodied, lovely mouthfeel, with currant, candied citrus peel, and walnuts. Long finish, ~40+ seconds, with citrus, and nuts. Lovely!
Light-medium gold colour. Aromas of bartlett pears, cream, and stone. Full-bodied, unctuous, with spice, pear, vanilla, citrus, and butterscotch on the palate. Great acidity to support the fruit. Moderate finish, 30s, with white fruit and spice. Really, really nice stuff.
Medium gold/light amber colour. Aromas of creme brulee, praline, lemon, white flowers, and nuts. Full-bodied, unctuous, with nuts, lemon rind, and orange rind. Long finish, 40-50s, with orange rind and nuts. Drink up.
Dark ruby colour. Very restrained on the nose. Aromas of pencil shavings/graphite, blackcurrant, and leather. Medium-full bodied with replays from nose. Moderate finish, 30s, with dark fruit.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Dark garnet colour. Aromas of cigar box, blackcurrant, herbs, leather, and toffee. Full-bodied, amazing palate showing cedar box, herbs, and licorice. Really love the texture. Long finish, 50+ seconds, with blackcurrant and leather notes. Fantastic!
Opaque dark ruby/black colour. Aromas of alcohol, mint, blackberry, raspberry, and vanilla. Full-bodied, rich, lovely acidity, with vanilla, blackcurrant, raspberry, coffee/toffee. Lots of silky tannins, but everything is in balance. Moderate-long finish, 40+ seconds, with dark fruit. Will be fantastic with additional cellaring.
Ruddy burgundy colour. Aromas of green olive tapenade, black licorice, and meat. Medium-full bodied, with dark fruit, smoke, and the awesome texture that this wine always offers. Long finish with dark fruit and licorice.
