  10/1/2022 - El_Dougo Likes this wine:

  Deep ruby in glass with slight garnet edge.
  17 months on 70% new oak.
  Pronounced nose of green bell pepper, eucalyptus, blackberry, black currant. Secondary nose of nutmeg, cedar and vanilla This wine is clearly developing in bottle.
  Palate is high acidity, high but smooth tannins, high alcohol, Flavor intensity med+, full body. Green bell pepper dominating, while only mild tertiary of earth, tobacco, vegetal, and herb.
  Finish med+. Outstanding. Can drink now but has potential for further aging.

  3/1/2019 - Bearbus Likes this wine:

  Lovely nose of earth, blackcurrant leaves and twigs, spearmint, crushed red and blackcurrant, cedar. Caresses the palate with very fine tannins, silty flows over a palate with fresh acidity, gentle astringency, . Would like to see with a decade or few on it

  First thing I noticed on the palate was the ripeness. Cassis, leather, some jammy fruit. excellent acidity and nice tannin. not really in my wheelhouse, but i can appreciate the quality
