1/31/2024 - Delund Likes this wine: 91 pointsPopped and poured, cellar temperature. Took about a half-hour in the glass to start to show itself, but I didn't mind as the nose was captivating. Deep garnet color. Lovely, complex aromatic nose of plum, boysenberry, eucalyptus, mint, smokey mocha and a bit of barnyard funk that gradually moved towards pine forest floor. I would love to find a candle that smelled like this when lit. Silky round tannins. Well-integrated oak and alcohol at this point. Big black fruits on the palate. Tart black and red fruit notes helped offset the fading acidity. Allspice and pleasant bitter chocolate notes. Grippy finish that lingered and lingered. |

10/12/2023 - NoWineWiz Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnP, 1/2 hr. in the glass. Wonderful nose and palate of dusty, brambly, black & blue fruit, worn leather and mocha. Full, smooth mouthfeel and long finish with just a touch of tannins. |

12/31/2023 - Rich S Likes this wine: 93 pointsPopped and poured from a 375ml. Great nose of dark, roasted plum and black cherry with sweet pipe tobacco, roasted tomato, cedar cigar box, some green/herbal notes and a touch of creme de cassis. Similar flavors on the palate with a nice mix of savory flavors and dark, ripe fruit. Medium+ acidity. Medium tannins. Smooth finish. Drinking great. |

10/6/2023 - lgkurta Likes this wine: 92 points1 hour decant. Drinking surprisingly well! At the end of its life at this point, mostly tertiary, but after a bit more time in glass got beautiful notes of cassis. Drink up if you got ‘em! |

1/16/2023 - NoWineWiz Likes this wine: 92 pointsGreat nose and well-integrated palate of blackberries, plum, and black cherry, with notes of tobacco & vanilla. There is a background of worn leather and sandalwood, fading tannins, with a full, enjoyable finish. |

10/11/2022 - bayareadodgerfan Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine is ready to drink - probably not improving much more. Still pretty nice glass of wine. Decanted 45 min (should have been longer - I forgot). Medium garnet color, med+ aroma intensity with both fresh and dried black cherry, black plum and blackberry notes as well as some mint. Secondary notes of cedar and toast from oak. Lots of tertiary aromas - forest floor, leather and dried black fruit. On the palate, med + flavor intensity with similar flavors to the aromas on the nose Med/Med+ acid, high alcohol, med+ tannin - but super plush and well integrated. Medium+ finish of dark fruit and tertiary flavors. It’s a nice wine - a little surprised it’s still got this much freshness - but time to drink up |

7/31/2022 - Rich S Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted for sediment. Nose of cassis, black cherry, a bit of toasty oak, dark chocolate and menthol. Similar flavors on the palate with a good amount of black fruit still present, although slightly dried, and a bit of charred wood to go along with some nice herbal, minty notes. Medium acid, medium to medium+ tannin and good length on the finish. Still plenty of life in this wine but I would likely drink over the next few years while the fruit is still there, especially since the acidity is not. |

7/14/2022 - AllRed wrote: 89 pointsDouble decanted off its sediment and poured with dinner following a quick round of nine. By the time we had our entrees and this bottle, it had been perhaps three & a half hours since the cork had been pulled. The lovely floral/violet notes that were evident when the cork was pulled have disappeared, now showing leather, tobacco and black fruit. Soft, somewhat rustic tannin and flavors of plum and leather. |

3/2/2022 - AllRed wrote: 93 pointsDouble decanted off its sediment and poured a little over an hour later. A great showing. The bouquet features violet, currants, rose and plum. Tannins are nicely resolved at this stage, with an abundance of dark fruit taking center stage on the palate. Hints of spice in the lingering finish. We have two remaining which I will plan to open within the next year, maybe two. |

1/2/2022 - Grape_ape Likes this wine: 93 pointsLast of 4 bottles, last one consumed over 8 years ago, and this was still going strong. really nice complexity with dark fruit accented by tobacco and cigar box, Bordeaux like flavors but with new world subtleties. Away bittersweet to have one of my few remaining Match bottles |

5/28/2021 - gmbdds wrote: 94 pointsNot decanted and likely doesn’t need it except for a little sediment. Pepper, leather and cigar along with currant and blackberry notes. Expressive nose and palate. Balanced and at once mature and fresh. Pleasant acid kick on the long finish. At peak and the best Match experience I’ve had yet. |

4/24/2021 - AllRed wrote: 93 points4th Saturday Group (M&R's): Blind. Perfumey and elegant, with currant and licorice notes as well. Black fruit on the palate; balanced wit a lingering finish. This is just a really nice wine with some tannin to shed yet, but the fruit is nice and there's plenty of it. |
