Community Tasting Note

• Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 94 points

  August 6, 2015 - Just had the 13 Juvi(which is the REAL deal!!)…and this one really brings it up levels! 15.3 alc. BIG dusty white pepper spice, cigar humidor nose….with brambly wild berry liqueur in the background. The flavors rocket out of the gate….headed by that big pepper spice and dusty and searing mountain tannins…..with plenty of saturated and liqueured berry fruit, cinnamon stick, brambly wild brush, dried flowers, tobacco, crushed rocks……..not all wild wild west here….there is a beautiful silk and pureness to the wine…..with that strong structure…age will be your friend. SO tasty now, but plenty room to gain…..should be a stunner in 5 or so years! +pts

I think the 13's should even be better since they seem to be really balanced…the Dragon especially! Stay away from the 06's….I don't care for those…way out of whack.
