delightful wine. Rich, nuanced, deep. Color is really full, deep purple. Just some transparency at end of glass, but not extracted. Coy nose on day II. Palate is lighter than expected, then a nice full red purple fruit richness w/o being heavy. The oak and tannins well integrated now. This is a delightful wine.

2nd Gastronomy Fair 2014; 3/30/2014-3/31/2014 (Intercontinental Hotel): Clear deep ruby color. The nose is clean, med+ intensity, rich red fruit character, opulent, nutmeg, heady, prunes and tobacco, sour cherry, fresh and a bit closed, cigar box, wet earth, liquorice, developing. The wine is dry, med body and intensity, med+ alcohol (14.50%) and acidity, med+ tannins that are round and juicy, opulent rich black fruit character, plums, black currant, well structured, alcohol bite, rich med+ finish. Outstanding quality, premium price drinking now but could hold. An intellectual to sit back and enjoy

Not many people know about this wine, but after having sampled it 4 times this year I can easily say it is a hidden gem and an absolute powerhouse. The nose is welcoming, sweet blackberry with licorice and spice. The flavour sits around and has a tea party on your tongue long after each sip, all with stunning precision and balance.
Thanks again Kory!
