  Sadly this bottle was a bit corked or something of that nature. It just never really showed what it should.

  This took a while to flush out and come around to being as good as the previous bottle I had. Once it gained the weight and balanced it really showed the good spices and fruit on the backend with a long finish. Beat out the 02 Perrieres next to it which seemed a bit past peak.

  Have wanted to try this for a while, and it didn’t disappoint. Pours medium-light with some bricking at the edges. Needs about 20 minutes to open. Shows lots of inky, savory aromatics, plus a faint hint of barnyard. On the palate, faded black and red fruits vie for center stage with herbal notes and something a bit peppery. Good length on the finish. All in all, a very enjoyable bottle that’s ready to go. More confirmation, as well, that this site can produce excellent wines capable of aging well.

  Lots of fine sediment. Let it stand up for a few days and give a gentle decant

  Brought a few weeks ago,and it’s in great condition. Decanted off a little sediment and left to open up for and hour or so. Medium body and a clear jewel like red, some bricking at the edge, wafts of blackcurrants, tomato leaf, nicely ripe fruit with a tasty savoury side, medium plus finish. Would love to have a few more bottles
