Outstanding. Mix of fresh and dried berry fruit, with clove and black tea. Medium bodied, nice density and some mostly resolved tannic structure providing mouthfeel. Complex and drinking beautifully.

What a treat! Deep expressive complex nose with cherries, earth, minerals and caramel. Palate is also dense, chewy and juicy. The cherry fruit is just classy and the finish is even more intense and long and the structure gives the wine a lift. Best red wine i have had in many years.

Dinner at Rare Food Co, mature color & nose, cherries & earth, good stuffing & depth, long finish, really opened up as the night progressed, beautiful mature Burg that has at least 5-8 years left 94

Decanted off sediment, then consumed over the next two hours. Pretty nose of black fruit and earth. Medium weight, structure relaxed, good balance of fruit and acidity. The real treat here is the texture: the tannins are incredibly silky and refined. Not especially rich or powerful, esp. for a 99 from this terroir. But oh so elegant. Not much reason to wait based on this example.

Dark. Plums, blackberries, med tannic grip and med acid relenting to the passage of time yield this nicely integrating glass. 14% Alc. Very good.
