7/16/2018 - Mossrose wrote: 91 pointsDark purple but short of opaque. Enticing aromas of raspberry and blackberry, The sip shows a fine balance between fruit, acid, and tannin that is tasty, refreshing, smooth, and elegant. The swallow adds a light texture but ends with a streak of astringent bitterness. Got somewhat richer by day 4 of being opened but what the wine most lacks is any caressing lushness. |

The sip adds juicy blackberry to the fruit and shows bright acidity, rounded tannin, and the integration one would hope from an 8 year old. The crowning part of the taste is the swallow, which features great clarity of flavors with upfront richness, depth, and concentration, without being sour, astringent, or leathery. Overall, beautifully aging, delicious, and fully enjoyable any time over the next 5 years. |

11/23/2023 - markyc Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted for 3 hours. Fantastic. Dark berries, old strawberries, hints of baseball-glove leather, just the tiniest bits of brick/ash. The only disappointment is this was our last bottle. |

3/20/2022 - Manorcellar Likes this wine: 88 pointsNose of subdued berry and soft green herb (savory? mild thyme?). After five minutes in the glass, berry flavor sharper at front of mouth, light in texture, pronounced (albeit gentle) finish. Was very friendly with burgers and asparagus on the grill, not so compatible with cheese to follow. |

4/12/2020 - PBANGELO Likes this wine: 91 pointsRuby in the decanter with some bricking at the glass edge. Initially chalk, followed by a repeated go-round of leather and berries. Moderate tail. Good value. Nice. |

2/25/2018 - dsamuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsMedium garnet with some clearing. Medium aromas of red and black fruit with secondaries of dried flowers/herbs and perhaps a little game/meat on the back end. Medium(+) palate of red/black fruit again with nice herbal quality. Medium(+) tannins and medium(+) acidity with ETOH high but not all dominant. Drinking quite nicely now but I would guess will go at least another 3-5 yrs. |
