Solid - rich, strong fruit on nose and palate, medium tanins, tertiary flavors, layered and well balanced. Has a few more years to go. Evolves nicely over a few days with a slow ox.

Served to fussy Caymus lovers and they raved. Sadly, they kept asking for more and I want through 3 bottles. Good depth and secondary flavors, mocha, tobacco, eucalyptus make a appearance, fruit is blackberry, black currant and dark cherry. Still a bit young. I expect it will age nicely for another 5-10. Will have to get more.

A bold, deep dive into a cave of creme de cassis, ripe purple plums and lilacs. All purple, all the time. Nice cellar, earth quality with great balance. Deserves a rich, non vegetarian friendly meal to accompany.

Peju & Gun Bun Wines: Deep purple color. Concentrated aromas of dark currants, blackberries, along with smoky charcoal, graphite, mint chocolate chip, tobacco, vanilla. Built well on the palate, but the tannins are nice and smooth, and moderate acidity. Black currants and blackberry, deep but crunchy fruit, laced with fallen leaves, graphite, mint, mocha and vanilla notes. Round but fresh, structured but opens nicely with just a bit of air. This is already showing lots of nuance and smoothness, but could benefit from a few years as well. Includes 8% combined of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, the wine is aged 18 months in 45% new French oak.

Took a couple of hours to open up to its peak but once it did it's drinking beautifully. Agree with previous descriptions of ts flavor profile.

Decanted.
Always a solid btl, not in your face with a more restrained style, delicious.
This will age out nicely.
Drink now thru 2026

Intense dark fruit, smoky humidor experience. Nice lingering finish with smooth tannins.
