Jammy raisin nose, with hints of bacon. Acidic, almost to the point of sourness, medium+ tannins. Inky, long legs. Black fruit, raisin, porty, but everything in relative balance. Even slightly elegant. $30

Acid shows through on nose, with some jamminess. Medium tannins and acids, big body. Pleasantly sour, almost like a poor-man's 02 Smith-Haut-Lafitte. Red fruit. Mint chocolate. Good QPR @ $35
Jammy chocolate nose, with blueberry and traces of wet dog. Medium+ body, medium tannins, acidic. Elegent, but works as a juicy quaffer, too. Blueberry, light jamminess. $50

Cedar/oak nose, with light pear and red apple. Odd texture - almost sour, but yet flabby? Lemon rind, oak, simple. Medium body.
