Agree with previous note. Inky, beautiful color. Lovely richness of dark fruit. No one will confuse for a 1st growth Bordeaux but quite wonderful - especially for the price. En magnum

Inky deep, dense garnet in color, this wine has a bouquet of blackberry, plum and cedar. It is rich, smooth and complex in cherry and cassis flavors, with balanced tannins revealing licorice and a touch of leather on the finish. This wine is so delicious, I forgot to stop to taste it and simply began to enjoy it. One of the best wines we have opened lately – and perhaps my favorite Marinus vintage to date (don’t tell 2010!).

Jan Hein’s 40th birthday party. Great black tie dinner with all his friends - steak from Bobby Van’s. Super evening with lots of laughs. Great wine with good life left - but very drinkable now. Nice claret medium bodies with good fruit and length. Given the orange lion in the label a success. Yummy!!
