Good but seemed a touch shut down. Has all the characteristics I'd expect from a Victory but it all needed coaxing out. Perhaps it's just coming out of a dumb period.

A nice nose of cassis, violets, and cedar. Medium to full bodied, blackberries, pepper, aggressive tannins, aged herbs, and a medium to long finish. Good, but not nearly ready yet. Might need another 4-5 years to shine.

Definitely coming together with a couple of years of rest. Nice aromatic breadth for a Bdx blend: black cherry, currant, cedar, red peppers. Doesn't quite 'pop' in terms of mid-palate depth or finish, but proper character and structure. I think this has really good upside potential, but also a limited ceiling--drink or hold.

This wasn’t quite there for me, some decent notes of cassis and berries, but rather muted. Will try again in a few years!
