Like a Late Bottled Vintage Port on the nose. In the mouth dark fruits, medical herbs, slight vanilla and oakiness. Full bodied with a good mix of tannins and acidity. Not an every day wine but will brighten up every holiday and served with food.

Decanted for 1.5 hours. Lots of red cherry here, very fresh with good acidity and strong tannins. This is a racey wine, much going on, and feeling quite young at the moment.

Prism II w/ Sashi (Prism, Berlin): @prism. Mid-inflection but has a powerful jolt of slightly raisinated black fruit. Lovely VA too. It’s quite musar-y but still young. Definitely a bold, almost port-like style on the nose right now. But still balanced and light on the palate.
From Jacqueline (wine director): “Due to insufficient rain in spring, the whole life cycle of the vine was almost 30 days delayed, which led to a harvest that only finished in mid October. With that comes very concentrated fruit and a bit more power than we’re used to.”

Really lovely. Mix of red fruits with interesting earthy savory notes. Plenty of structure here to age further. Does very well with food.

First Musar. Rather distinctive aromatic and flavor profile for what I assume are the usual Bordeaux varietals(?). Did well with 24 hours of air.
