Mostly dry in what is a mainstream style. Smokey touches, generic red fruits, a touch citric. Not totally my bad but I see why people like it.

Surprisingly good for the vintage - fruit, floral, nice, nice middle, long finish. Yeah, it was firing on all cylinders

Lots of brett on opening that subsided over time and got significantly better in the glass. I've had better expressions of this estate relative to my palate.

Leaner than the 2005, a bit more mint and floral notes. Nice fruit, great balance and mouthfeel.

Nose: Dark berries, blueberries, earth.

Palate: Soft entry, quite light overall. Baked fruit and soft aftertaste.

Quintessential cult cab in the mid 2000s and I enjoyed every bit of it. Lots of rich black fruit, oak spices, but incredible clean, balanced, and long. Great wine.

dark ruby and medium plus body in the glass. shows the trademark Ryan perfumed nose with rose petals mingling with the red and dark cherry, pomegranate, spice, and mushroom and undergrowth. a spice vein runs from entry to finish thru the concentrated black plum and red cherry fruits. slightly earthy, savoury, and dried herb notes appear mid-palate. good acidic lift, fairly well-integrated tannins and very long.

while mostly primary, it is in its window already and hinting at the tertiary elements and additional complexity that will develop with some more time (upside potential here). drink according to your preference.

14.8% AbV; seventeen months' ageing in French oak barrels (30% new, 20% second use, 50% neutral).

Enjoyed with my mate at the end of a 3 week New Zealand trip at a fantastic Italian restaurant in queenstown called Bella cucina.

Full bodied. Smooth. Velvety. Perfect with an Italian dinner

Cork removed without issue. No evidence of any seepage, Color -deep dark red edge to opaque purple. Strong initial nose of stewed fruit - secondary nose of tomato, basil/herbs, and cedar. Palate- heavy, full bodied wine with a creamy texture, berry and vegetal/green leafy notes on palate and into finish with soft tannins noted. Despite the ABV of 15.5%, I did not find any problematic alcoholic heat to note. Finish was medium to long. I am neutral on this wine. Overall, It is good (and interesting -with some complexity), but doesn't have a flavor profile or structure that I prefer.

Trinquée de Meursault - Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Tonnellerie Damy - Meursault): Walkaround tasting with producers. Rich without seeming too ripe, charming spice with good depth and balance. Finish goes on and on. Very good.
