Perfect cork. Dark ruby color. Wonderfully dry. Dark cherry balanced with earthy notes and a distinct minerality. Flavors are really in perfect balance, no residual sweetness. Did catch some modest sediment in final glass. This 05 is in a perfect spot.

Perfect cork. Dark garnet color. Black fruits and a strong rustic quality. Very earthy bouquet, picked up both moss and game, really evokes the forest floor that you love in an older Morey. This wine delivered way more than expected, strong fruit, balanced tannins, rustic bouquet. Thoroughly enjoyable to drink now, but still carrying lots of fruit.

Perfect cork. Deep purple color. Pronounced fruit to this, heavy black cherries and black raspberries, almost candied, lingering licorice. Tart fruit has overcome the tannins and dominate the profile. Might have more in common with California Cab than Burgundy, but still a fun, big fruit wine. Drink now, while it still has the fruit.
