August 15, 2022 - Ca fait quelques années que je voulais ouvrir cette bouteille et elle n'a certainement pas déçu ! WOW What a wine !
Zinfandel a 62%, un fruit mure qui ne tombe pas dans le confit, une fraîcheur impeccable, un coté épice douce, poivré bien présent, c'est ample avec cette touche typique US et ça torche certainement plusieurs grands vins ! Une bombe de perfection. Dans son sweet spot. Le WOTN incontesté de la soirée ! -

May 10, 2020 - Wine of the night for many people in a dinner a few weeks ago. Surprising considering some of the other wines. Very awesome.

April 1, 2020 - Note to self: needs the Butler's Thief to open future bottles, as the cork broke and the bottom half just crumbled away to dust on trying to extract it.
Explosive, room filling black fruits on the nose immediately on opening and continuing to blossom and open up even further.
Beautiful colour: maturing, but far from old.
Very good, open palate. Feels nicely mature, but nothing excessively secondary. Integrated tannins, leaving just a light sanding on the tongue and cheeks. Intense black fruit, huge, complex depth. Enormous length on finish.
Lovely stuff. -

March 22, 2020 - 375 ml bottle. Bottom half of cork crumbled, but nothing a strainer and decanter couldn't fix. Holding up just fine. Maybe not peak, but none the worse for wear.
