This wine has always been on the ripe side, and this bottle is no different. It has a clear boysenberry fruit profile, with a touch of pipe tobacco and finishing notes of vanilla and coconut. Not for the faint of heart, but on the last night before going back to work after a long break…it hits the spot. Glad to still have a few bottles.

A nice enjoyable wine. Deep, dark fruit profile with a lot of aromatics. Soft tannins and well balanced. I wish I took better notes, but overall we really liked it. Tannins got harsher on day 2 without much change in the fruit -- so this is probably right at its drinking window now.

I confess I was a little hesitant upon seeing the 15% ABV on the label. But my worries quickly went away as the wine didn’t feel hot at all. It’s just damn tasty. Rich, dense black fruit and herbal notes. Popped and poured and it was showing well right out the gate, but with a bit more air it became more expressive and gained more depth

Not so long since my last bottle, so no real change, but it remains consistently delicious and balanced. I could go through a magnum of this on my own except that I would pass out before I finished it. ;)
