  Medium nose and body. Smooth and well balanced. Singing after 1 hour.

  The balance of this wine is extraordinary. On the nose, there's a hint of alcohol, but it presents a beautiful mix of red and black fruits, such as currant and strawberry. There are also notes of pine, eucalyptus, mint, moka and a touch of warm bread.
  
  On the palate, it is incredible—nearly perfect. This is a fine wine with silky tannins. It is very fruity in the mouth with just the right intensity. The finish is exceptionally long. While the wine has a noticeable alcohol content, it is so well integrated that it doesn't stand out at all.

  Absolutely gorgeous wine. Refined, impeccable balance, layered with soft textures of rounded out tannins, luscious black fruit and a long finish. Drinking this wine felt like drinking the softest, smoothest piece of finely- grained sand paper, the sands representing different smooth textures in the mouthfeel. Gidon and Heekyung were blown away by this wine tonight. Paired with grilled Korean beef and marinated pork at the steakhouse.

  This is beautiful and great value. It's tasting great now (although with noticeable heat) and will continue to improve. Notes cream, vanilla, cigar box, violets and floral, and fruits. Tannins are round and finish is long.

  Very ripe. Dark red fruits, garrigue, orange peel, luxardo cherry, sweet tannins, nice juicy finish. Acidity compliments fruit and prevents from being flabby. Lovely, but I imagine this will be even better in 5+ years. Hold.
