    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.

    June 30, 2010 - Heavy dark fruits on the nose. Good strong black cherry with tobacco and spice. Needs to breath an open more the alcohol makes it smell hot. Taste of black fruit, tannins, with good linger
