It was my last and I'll miss it. That said, it was time. The wine was a little hot, but as Talty does, held it well. It started a little burgundian, with a bit of tartness, then opened up into luscious dark fruits, dark plum, blackberries, and a hint of leather, clove and tobacco.

Glad I drank it but sorry it's gone. This was growing in the bottle, even getting a little hot, but it was full of complex flavors that went way down in the glass. Leather, spices, dark berry fruit. A luxurious mouthfeel. When young, these Taltys are a little more like a deep burgundy; as they age, they become something entirely unlike any other varietal.

Still tasting brilliantly.
Keep wondering if it's reached it's peak, but every year we try, and every year it gets better. Fantastic

Elegant, full, complex with a great finish and still amazing smooth fruit flavors.
