May 30, 2023 - I had this wine a few weeks ago now. Unfortunately the wine didn't live up to the expectations of the previous one I had with Brad. The French oak was very prominent and never really blew off after 3-4 hours of decant. Hoping the next one is better.

May 6, 2023 - Fantastic!!! I love Abreu in general and this drinks in the early stages of the drinking window. Dark brooding deep blue/purple in color. Nose was not memorable. Great tertiary flavors of earth, tomatoe leaves, blackberries. Silky. Long finish. Enjoy!

August 20, 2022 - Similar to prior note after a 2 hour double decant, except it has now entered peak drinking; outstanding, drink or hold, no rush

May 3, 2022 - Deep dark garnet/brick red color, with a rusty rim. Mushroom, Manwich-infused chocolate (think chocolatey sloppy Joe), and fennel on the nose. Dry, velvety palate. Soft tannins on the longish finish.
This was another fun bonus pour from MJP, toward the end of our Arrow & Branch tasting. “Salisbury steak” might better capture the essence of this wine, as MJP noted. It’s held up well, but more age than I typically enjoy.3 people found this helpful Comments (12)
