February 27, 2024 - seems to be open for business. 30-60 min decant. drink or hold
July 14, 2023 - Gave to Curtis Medford - retirement gift
November 26, 2022 - Drank this next to an Isoceles Reserve and it was the lesser of the two. Perhaps not an apples-to-apples comparison, but this was decent, not spectacular.
September 4, 2022 - Crimson. Dark fruit, berry compote...more earthy & brambly. Soft herbaceous notes of mint. Bold barrel of toast & cigar box.
Good amount of acid/tartness. Light cigarette & ash. Leather. Herbal with a touch of eucalyptus. Bawdy character...Orma always delivers, no?
Tannins are velvety. Full bodied. Has good structure & balance. Great concentration, acidity & intensity.
Worth cellaring for at least another 5 years- great with ribs.
April 11, 2022 - Excellent wine. Dry but balanced. Leather.
November 18, 2020 - Kanonvin i min optik. Stadigvæk lidt reserveret næse med mørke kirsebær, brombær, blå blommer og dernæst sød lakrids, sød pibetobak, vanille og tilsidst lidt garrique-krydderier. I munden er der til gengæld fuld power på. Eksploderer nærmest i munden. Luft den godt eller drik i små slurke. Masser af mørke bær, lakrids og tobak, der bare bliver ved og ved. Fortsat en del tanniner, men perfekt balance. Gem endelig 5-8 år eller luft den godt.
July 22, 2020 - Drank 2020.... wait 5 years minimum
