Was a hit with beef brisket dinner at Sharon’s house. We toasted to Scott who passed away 40 days earlier and loved Dariush. A total crowd pleaser and still drinking well! Cork broke upon opening. Otherwise an awesome experience.

Hello cab franc. Fruit some leather. Tannins have softened from when green a ton, but still supply good mouthfeel. This wine, while past its drinking recommendation, held up and was solid. Enjoyed it.

I thought this was great. I opened and decanted for 2 hours before taking to the restaurant. We drank it last at dinner so it had been opened for about 4 hours before we drank it. This was one of the most beautiful noses I have smelled in a while. It was dark fruit, cocoa, saddle leather, and pencil lead. The taste was no different, incredibly multi-dimensional. I tasted a small sip right out of the bottle and it really evolved over the course of the night. It was so rich and covered the mouth with each sip. I thought this was a really wonderful wine and I wish I had more bottles of this.

Decanted 4 hours. Delicious. Good nose, mouth full. Smooth but not particularly complex. If only I had more!

Great rich berry full of tannins. Never opened a bottle that did not blow me away!
