  Wonderful floral bouquet with a hint of eucalyptus. Dark red in the glass all the way to the edges. Dark fruit flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate. Tannins are well rounded, integrated and elegant. Wonderful full-bodied flavors that are beautifully extracted. Acidity is perfect revealing fresh fruit and lovely flavors. Finish is long and memorable. Wonderfully fragrant and long lasting. Outstanding.

  The Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Chateau Lyon): A preview taste for next year! I strongly suspect a Carter will be a ringer in next year's 10 year Retro of Bordeaux...
  
  This bottle was PNP, on point for deep blue black Cali fruit, red and black licorice, oak and a glycerin laden palate. 94 on day 2. Now-2030.

  Another knock out wine from Mark Carter. Medium bodied with almost no tannins. Best after 2 hour decant

  Recording this two weeks after the fact. I let it breathe for 4 hours before drinking. A dense, chewy wine w/some notes of spice and licorice. Almost like a very dense pinot noir. Consumed in Feb 2018 w/similar notes.

  Laser focused, thick and mouth coating, red and black cherry flavors with a dark backbone and a long smooth finish. Fantastic
