A big bruiser of a wine...full body, black licorice on the nose and garrigue. Tasted blind and thought for sure this was a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Has plenty of room for aging though it's tasting great now.

From magnum at Maya in Avon, CO. Really singing! In great balance with no edges. Brilliant nose of raspberry liquor, leather, tobacco, and wet stone. Round mouth feel and finish. Demonstrating the benefits of age on a well made wine.

Popped and poured, followed over seventy-five minutes with various foods. Deep dark crimson. A warm musk but no funk. Muted spices, plummy, rich. Drink now. Like, NOW now.

Open that bottle night. I forgot where/how I got this bottle, but picked it as an aged French wine in our cellar of WA wines. I really liked it! Tar, lavender, plenty of fruit. Excellent balance. Dark deep color. Very much alive, and a great reminder when I realized, after the fact, that it came from my CellarTracker friends Tom, Dennis, and Malcom during our first meeting/offline in 2011. Cheers guys!

Tobacco and spice on the nose -- big. Dark berries, leather, spice on the palate.
