12/14/2023 - JnHWine Likes this wine: 88 pointsVery high alcohol. Robust. Big, overripe strawberries, black cherry. Still tastes young - lots of primary notes with the new oak influence. Low shoulder bottle, so use the Burgundy glass. Absolutely lovely! |

12/11/2023 - RPerro Likes this wine: 93 pointsThought I was pulling the 2016. Whoops! Great wine, flavors consistent with my prior note. Was outstanding on day 2, so this has many years of enjoyment ahead. |

After downing some grower champagne from Fat Cork with 3 dozen oysters from Taylor Shellfish I was searching for a red. There it was … and yum! On the nose I feared a fickle mistress but the first sip rang true - perfect balance of Syrah and Mourvèdre- inky mystery married with shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo. I know I’m writing more about food but the wine intermingled with each flavor in a 1+1=3 equation. |

9/12/2023 - RPerro Likes this wine: 93 points90 min decant; paired with grilled pork chops. Brightly fruited and showing strawberry and raspberry along with sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla and a hint of tar. A zip of acidity cuts the fatty pork nicely, and the tannins are well-integrated. Drinking well on day 2 also, but no rush to pop this one. Drink now - 2032. |

8/18/2023 - David Hauser Likes this wine: 93 pointsRemove from the cellar 4 hour prior to a single venturi decant. Had with tomato tart, Mediterranean green beans and halibut. This wine is now an easy match for most foods. Elegant dark fruit and raspberry notes. Plenty of dark fruits remaining on the palate with well integrated oak and tannins. This wine easily has a year or 2 in it yet. Enjoy! Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

3/20/2023 - JnHWine Likes this wine: 83 pointsSlight aging. Full body. Tannins still pronounced. Nose has big black fruit, red fruit, and oak aromas. Very enjoyable on the palate. But the finish is slightly longer than short and not quite at medium. Drink now, not suitable for further aging. |

1/14/2023 - RPerro Likes this wine: 93 pointsP&P. Still on the upswing with regards to development, and should continue to improve with additional age. The first taste is quite sweet but settles down once it's had some air. Flavors showing blackberry and plum fruit, tobacco and earth, with vanillin barrel notes and a finish of espresso and dark chocolate. Really excellent wine that I wish I had more of. Drink now - 2030+. |

11/4/2022 - RPerro Likes this wine: 93 points2 hour slow-ox in the bottle; poured through an aerator when consumed. Outstanding wine, and just entering it's drinking window. Many years of enjoyment ahead of this one. Flavors of dark berry and cherry fruit, some earthy-woody notes and hints of sweet vanilla, closing with a crescendo of espresso and dark chocolate. If drinking now, definitely recommend a couple hours in the decanter, and enjoy through 2031+. |
