Garnet color Lots of black fruits in the nose, black cherries, black raspberries, blackberries, licorice, and hints of minerals, floral and herbalness. Deep, rich fruit in the flavor, blueberries and black currants. Complex, nice acidity, full bodied, very well balanced and a very long smooth finish.

Tasted six times since 2014, when it was tight and tannic. Each bottle has gotten progressively better and more complex, and this one was perfect! Our last bottle. Garnet, mostly opaque. Sweet black cherry aromas, some complexity, with oak and acetic overtones. Concentrated black cherry and plum flavors, jammy and a bit sweet. The tannin which was noticeable a year ago has resolved. The wine is mature and excellent...enjoy! Ric

I didn't take good notes with this one, but I remember thinking it's good, but I've had better versions of Reva. Definitely would not say no to this as it's one of my favorite wines and producers. Cork was deeply stained and deep, deep purple. What gave me pause was the fruit wasn't as intense as I recall, but at 13 years can be expected. Still a good wine.

Still drinking great and simply delicious. Big dark rich black fruit with a hint of tar. Velvety texture and beautiful ripe large scale fruit throughout. Enough structure and black spices to balance out the bold flavors. In a wonderful drinking window now.
