  Big and rich, plum and blackberry aromas. Follows to the palate. A different impression than the 2015. Less nuanced, more suave and fruit. Light tannin.

  A little early to review this wine. Requires considerable (5 hours) decant to get the tannins to settle down. overall, very full bodied and predominantly blackberry and pepper stand out. Don't open for several years.

  개봉 후 열리는데 2시간 이상 소요되었으나 어리고 밝은 과실 향미와 우아한 복합미가 매우 좋았음. 그래서 2015 빈티지 추가 구매하게 됨

  Deep ruby with reflections of purple. Ben Christiansen said this tastes like money, and he's 100% right. On the nose this mixes aromas of ripe, almost scorched black fruits and black fruit jam with savory ones of baked earth, grilled herbs, exotic spice and nutty oak. On the palate this is full bodied with soft edges, medium acidity and ripe, grippy tannins that are perhaps texturally overshadowed by the alcoholic heat. This is a crowd pleasing wine, but it lacks freshness and polish at this price point.

  Smells like allot oak. And the name refers to the Korean moon jar. And it tastes like that on the palate. Tastes like money. 06-'12 was all Asia. '13 was the first domestic release. Lots of oaky grip to the wine. On Howell mountain. And this is the 10th leaf of this vineyard.
