June 4, 2022 - Tasted after 90 minutes of air.... Mark is the master with these McMinnville AVA vineyards. Love his Momtazi bottlings. Some soy, crunchy red berry fruit, and spice. This wine is constantly evolving in the glass. Very interesting.

December 31, 2020 - Popped and didn't decant. Tried after about 4 hours. Very heavy on tobacco and leather. Not much fruit, but still very good and interesting to drink. I would drink sooner than later.

May 3, 2020 - Medium dark ruby color. PNP, split bottle over 3.5hrs. This was the first time trying this bottling. From the highest elevations of Momtazi Vineyard where the "Duzar" blows strong. The nose has a complex mix of spices with lots of dry forest floor and dried tobacco with a blend of dark fruits; the black raspberry and plum stand out. The palate is medium full bodied with a plush texture that is very caressing, the core of dark fruits is alluring with black raspberry, black currant and plum all on display, ground tobacco, smoky, dried spices and earth with a medium plus finish. I love the round lacy tannins too. This is very balanced and goes down alarming quickly - cool label too.
