December 22, 2020 - 691 cases: Opened about 3 hours before pouring a taster and found very much to my liking, so braved the sediment and didn’t decant. Drank all but about a glass over the next 4 hours. In the glass crimson leaning towards brick and def showing the wine’s age. Beautiful coloring especially as you swirl and more of its translucent qualities are visible. Spectacular nose, cedar, cigar box, ripe blackberry, plum, dark cherry, graphite, pencil lead and so much more. Shocked about how available this Delectus bottle was, not the norm. Mouthcoating on the palate with an additional touch of smokey oak to compliment the fruit and tabacco notes. Maybe a touch of sweeter cherry as well on the palate. Def still some grip lift, but actually still some acidity to keep you coming back. Lingering finish, winner in all regards.

January 16, 2019 - Cherry to the rim with a hint of orange. Dark fruit with a hint of raspberry on the nose. Dark fruit on entry full body with some tannins that hint at a long life
Will drink the rest of my bottles next year -

December 12, 2018 - My last bottle. Really fine. Does not keep well after opening. When you open it drink the whole thing.

May 20, 2018 - I opened my 1st bottle just a few days after delivery and was disappointed. Tasted kinda muddy. But after a few weeks I tried another bottle and was impressed. Really solid 90+ wine. Hope the two I have left are just as good. If you have the opportunity to buy this vintage, grab it and go.

May 17, 2018 - Not much of anise but nice upfront fruit but still some drying tannins. Better second day so will wait a year to try again
Medium to full Carries across the palette with a 30 second finish
