Deep garnet, almost brick on the edges. Decanted for about 3.5 hours to pair with grilled steaks.
Dark cherry, red fruits, cedar and some tobacco notes. Hint of chocolate shavings. Lingering finish that goes on and on. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, definitely peaking!
Sadly I only have one of these, but I still have some Thirteen’s and Estate’s waiting patiently…

Beautiful brick / crimson colour, this is a true Bordeaux style. Notes of cherry, cigar box, cedar. Paired with a grilled tenderloin. Glad I waited! Drinking beautifully, lots of life left yet!

Paired with smoked short ribs (yum). The 2015 showing garnet colour some brick shading at the top. Notes of damp earth, cigar box and leather, with some cedar at the top of the glass (maybe white pepper too?). Beautiful lengthy finish. Tasting dark fruits at the open, moving into feeling the soft tannins wash over my mouth. Waiting a few more years for the next one but this is goooood.
