  Dark ruby core with no signs of age/oxidation at the rim. A bit of eucalyptus & sage in the nose, subtle earth, blood, & meat jus. Also a bit of green stem the first nite, that dissipates with decanting. Red & blue fruits in tasting, iron & meat jus... satisfying, medium lush & long. Nicely firm dry finish with focused, not excessive, acid. These are holding well in my cellar, so I'm not in a hurry to drink more of them. The fruit may develop & soften a little with time & integrate with earthy components. It seems 2-4 years before it's real peak, for me.

  Coravin # 1 - hard to assess as I have a cold. All rich fruit and light tannin but dark black cherry. At peak 110%, drink up. Solid but not jaw dropping amazing. Would still buy more, gorgeous wine

  earthy fruit & oak nose. Plenty of fruit, some nice earthy flavors, but lacks nerve or sap. good cherry finish though...

  Dark berries, cherries, cloves, and a hint of oak on the nose. Dark cherries, raspberries, and good acidity on the palate. Nice finish. Wife: 92
