  No specific notes as enjoyed with friends, this bottle wasn’t corked unlike the last one. Bright fruit, tannins mellowed out. Amazing as always

  Another beautiful Reva! Rich blackberry, mocha, and floral aromas with rich fruit and layers of complexity on the palate and long finish.

  A very different profile of what I know of Reva. I have had several vintages so I have a bit of experience. This is not dense but is powerful. Red fruit profile for me. But the flavor was such I wondered is this TCA tainted? Very vibrant and active on palate. Had open three days now. It just hit me what this tastes like: a brunello.
  Best showing on 16th. Very balanced, more like Reva I know, and heavy sediment, but when at last third of bottle to be expected. Smooth, alcohol not apparent (until you stand up) and just super nice. I had faith this would deliver and it eventually did. Why did it take so long to show?

  Opened up fully within 15 minutes to an hour. Dark bramble, blackberry and smoked venison. Wonderfully balanced. Highly extracted but not over the top. The third one I've opened since release and has developed more secondary nuances. It's drinking wonderfully, but has plenty of life left. Bravo!
