Served with a 2011 dominus estate paired to roasted duck breast and venison tenderloin. The Venge was brilliant on the venison 😆, so much so, the chef took the bottle!

Decanted 1.5 hours. Wonderful nose of black fruit, smoke and herbs. Palate has the fruit and herbs with some spice. Long finish. Great wine! It begs for food, and I made pork belly ramen—not a good combo. (To quote the late, great George Michael, “Why do I do the things I do?”) So this was enjoyed before dinner and then after. This would have knocked my socks off with some beef. Next bottle—serving with steaks.

Very fragrant. A burst of flowers. Deep, dark in the glass. Flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit and a hint of cola. The tannins are grippy yet beautifully integrated and provide great structure to the wine balanced by fresh and lively acidity. This is a lively wine that will age nicely.

Very nice presentation, 3 pack in a wooden box. Drank several bottles over the last few years, with and without food. Alway outstanding
