Green nose, elegant. Slight grape jelly. Delicious. Ripe flavors, but still light on its feet. Medium tannins and body, medium+ acidity. Perfect age. $60
Oaky nose, with graphite. Riper. This is still boring red fruits right now. It's way too young and needs more time to develop secondary flavors before it becomes interesting, but it should have enough stuffing to get to the finish line. $60
Ripe nose, elegant black fruit. Medium+ tannins and acid and body. Leather, earth. Ripe but restrained. Slightly rustic. Good age, but it's starting to dry out a bit. $60
Medicinal fennel seed nose. Tannic, acidic, medium-bodied. Refined. Earthy and slightly rustic. Great age, tastes more mature than 14 years. Food wine. Long. $60

Elegant nose. Medium tannins, acidic, medium bodied. Not very ripe - slightly green, which I personally enjoy. Food wine, ready to drink, elegant. $25
