  Differences of opinion in my home. I smell and taste Christmas spices with light to medium mouthfeel and a shortish finish. My wife tastes bold mineral and earthy elements which fade away in the mid palate to a short finish. Interesting and complex? Yes! QPR? Not so much!

  Magnum format. This is beautiful and firing on all cylinders. Secondary flavors, very nice balance. Some spice. Medium body, good complexity.

  Heady, black berry, black cherry, dark spices, deep foresty notes; rich, big, certainly reflects the vintage with a near creamy mouthfeel; this needs a bit of time to open up, wait another 3 years min. and will go for a long time. W/Korean BBQ ribs at home w/ S&L

  Fairly transparent red, some sign of age but limited brick. Delicate nose. Mid to light weight mouthfeel. Some bite followed by red fruit. Decided not to decant. Got better after some air and would recommend decanting 30-60 min before. Wine a bit between two phases—limited power and yet complexity of age not yet fully showing apparent. Hoping will get better with bit more age but no guarantee (may have peaked already). Paired nicely with cote de veau.

  Some Fine Wines to Accompany the Browns' Playoff Game (Los Olivos, CA): My first of six. Evocative nose of ripe red fruit and oak-derived cinnamon. More oak notes and red berries on the palate, silky but perhaps lacking in richness and concentration. Perhaps that comes with more bottle age. We remarked on the juxtaposition of the winery being a flagship bearer for biodynamic practices yet fairly heavy-handed with new oak. I'm okay with that, for the record :)
