  Dinner at Bavette’s Steakhouse in Las Vegas. This wine needed about an hour before it really started to shine. Notes of blueberry, black cherry, black plums wrapped in a dark chocolate wrapper on the nose. Vibrant yet elegant with beautiful, clean black fruits and crush minerals and granite on the palate. In a good place right now. Not sure I’d want more age on it.

  Delicious as you would expect, this wine is both rich and abundantly structured with dark cherry, cedar and blackberry on both nose and palate. Tannins are moderate but present enough to ensure a long life for enjoyment of this wine with the possibility of further improvement as the structure and minerality. The finish is only of moderate length but otherwise this is a wonderful enjoyable wine for now through at least 2028.

  A beautiful sweet red cherry massages your nose, awakens your senses, and prepares them for a savory black pepper & red licorice/cherry palate. Pairs very well with any red meat but the tannins do indicate that this could use another 7 to 10 years after which I would assume at least a 2 point eating increase.

  Kleur: Diep donkerrood met een duidelijk paarse vleug. Aroma / bouquet: Serieus expressief, boordevol donker fruit, Smaak / Afdronk: Smaakexplosie. Beperkte aciditieit, extreme vulling, royale hoeveelheid alcohol. Powerwijn van grote klasse, die in verband met haar royale alcoholgehalte geen graad te warm moet worden geserveerd. Lange afdronk. Mooi en verleidelijk. Algemeen / potentieel: Koeler drinken. SUPER JONG! NOG LANGER BEWAREN!!!!!! 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 97/100
  
  Colour: Deep dark red with a clear hint of purple. Aroma / bouquet: Seriously expressive, full of dark fruit, Taste / Aftertaste: Taste explosion. Limited acidity, extreme filling, generous amount of alcohol. High-class power wine, which should not be served a degree too warm due to its generous alcohol content. Long finish. Beautiful and seductive. General / potential: Drink cooler. SUPER YOUNG! STORE LONGER!!!!!! 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / Bouquet: 14 + Taste / Aftertaste: 19 + General / Potential: 9 = 97/100
