  Still excellent, though very different from release, the pepper is still there but the fresh vibrant fruit has been replaced by some darker berry/cherry, orange peel and baking spice. Tasty!

  Inky black, royal purple edges. Still a very fresh look, nose and taste. Blueberry syrup dominates, with rich, extracted black and raspberries as well. Firm tannins, rich, unctuous mouthfeel - borders on sweet. Blind I would have guess petite sirah. There is a backbone that separates it from something like layer cake, but it had that flavor profile. Not worthy of the 95 points on CT prior to our rating, but a nice wine. Well made and impressive freshness for a 2013.

  Excellent wine. Notes of blueberry compote and pine. Beautiful texture. Really enjoyed this wine.

  Heady nose like a bouquet of roses, graphite, very intensely aromatic. Plush and fruity on the palate, fresh acidity, medium bodied with light velvety tannin, a little spice, savoriness and bramble, intense red fruit and blueberry without being sweet or cloying, drinking excellently with a very short decant, really special and I'm excited that I don't have to wait for this wine to come into its own to drink more!
