11/22/2015 - Hollowine wrote: NROK, If you are sitting on these probably best to drink up. But...I was very pleasantly surprised...for this bottle, consumed over 2 weeks with a Coravin, this was really in a beautiful spot. Dark cherries, cinnamon, eucalyptus on the nose. Palate is full, if not a bit aged, with bright cherry, mint, bit of cigar box. Honestly, very lovely, if a bit tired. Drink up if you have them... |

Recommended to me by one of the staff at the Co-Op Wine shop, I took to dinner next door and before I was done with my meal had snuck back in to buy the last bottle next door. Beautiful nose and a lush feminine palate that shows just how beautiful a bit of Syrah/Viognier can be. Writing this TN as much for the other chap that bought 5 bottles from the Co-Op before me, as I heard he was long on this Producer/vintage. Thanks! |

11/9/2015 - Hollowine wrote: NRJust beautiful. Coravin'd a couple glasses over a week, finished the bottle last night. No need to worry about popping the cork and letting half sit to the next day...I left half a glass overnight and at 12 hours it was even better. Really, if you pop one, consider a 4-6 hour decant. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2008 Saxum Broken StonesPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
10/30/2015 - Hollowine wrote: 93 pointsWow, this wine is really in a great spot! Tannins are resolved to a great mouthfeel, it's a big wine but doesn't overdo it. Full palate of blackberry, tar, chocolate. Holds the alcohol in check and delivers on the back palate with a finish that keeps you wanting more. Really delicious. |

10/9/2015 - Hollowine wrote: NRNose isn't as funky as other vintages, but still typical Armada; blackberry, baking spice, hint of barnyard, eucalyptus. On the palate; dark cherry, chocolate ganache, iodine, tar. Lovely and better with 90 min decant. 92+ |
