3/31/2024 - JuliannaDHS Likes this wine: 89 pointsSurprisingly heavyweight, I assume lots of new oak. Bright red fruit, oaky spice. Not overly tannic so unsure of the longevity of this. |

3/22/2024 - JuliannaDHS Likes this wine: 91 pointsStill very primary with lots of berry and cherry fruit but depth is there as well. Only moderately tannic so I don't think this is a 20 year wine but a few more years should show improvement. |

3/8/2024 - JuliannaDHS wrote: 88 pointsQuite different than a recent bottle. Tannic! with some fruit hiding. This does not seem tired or fading but the tannins have won the battle of time. |

12/31/2023 - JuliannaDHS Likes this wine: NRUnsure if I should rate this 96 or 86. It really comes down to my preference in red wine and this is not exactly it. Mind you, there's no denying this is a high quality wine. This is the color of ink. Massive nose of ripe dark fruit, coffee, and alcohol. A huge but balanced body with dark fruit flavors, berry schnapps, oaky vanilla. Gripping finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
