Crimson in color. 14.3% ABV. Breathtaking nose of black fruits, Whitman Sampler box, scorched earth and violets. Exceptionally plush, silky and concentrated. Impeccably balanced. Blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis, cocoa and black currants on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Stunning wine that exceeded my lofty expectations. Close to perfection. I'll open my last bottle in 2028.

Sensational wine, far exceeding expectations for its age & 2nd hand nature. With the band back together [Jon and Tom and Tom], paired brilliantly with filet oscar style @ Laurelhurst JaKs.

Opaque purple in color. 14.5% ABV. Sublime nose of black fruits, cassis liqueur, tobacco and violets. Dense, concentrated and super silky. Exceptional balance. Black currants, raspberries, coffee and chocolate on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Great wine that is aging brilliantly. This will easily cruise to twenty years of age. Best over the next 4-6 years.

Like-new cork. Youthful nose & color. Ripe, not a hint of green. Bright cassis, well resolved tannins. Good acidic lift. Many years ahead of it. Last bottle in my cellar :(
