October 7, 2019 - Wonderful. It took a little while to open fully but when it did it was great. Perfume nose, rich mouth feel, silky smooth and a long finish. Very very nice.

March 31, 2013 - Had while grilling lamb. Loads of sediment. Murky black color with maroon rim. Nose of berry liqueur. Blackberry, leather, pepper, tobacco, and Asian spice palate. The 15.3% ABV is still slightly noticeable. Improves significantly with additional decanter time.

July 25, 2010 - From the inaugural vintage. Give it 30 minutes+ in the decanter to unfurl. the nose kicks in first and the palate 1 hour into it.
Color: Dark purple and deep red, coats the glass.
Nose: Black currant and kirsch like aromas rise from the glass, some charcoal and pencil lead as well, some fresh crushed blueberry and spice.
Aromas: Black currant and blackberry see saw with a good tannic structure and excellent acidity. Kirsch Royale, some graphite, and minerality add further depth. The acidity was quite surprising.
Highly enjoyable and paired well with rack of lamb. -
