Savory and elegant, with a strong graphite core and jazzy hints of eucalyptus that set it apart. Built for food, and we paired it with everything from takeout pizza to homemade chili and caldo gallego. It was leftovers night, but there was nothing second-rate about this old world stunner.

If you're a fan of Sean's wines, you will love this. If you're a Parker palate friend, you might go meh, as this isn't a fruit bomb. It does show excellent black and blue fruit with a touch of cassis and hint of Sean's eucalyptus flair found in the Orion. This is the first of six bottles that I purchased and I'm looking forward to seeing how this ages. It certainly has the bones to improve.

Even better. Drank like a Bordeaux.

Nicely balanced and poised. There’s a menthol/mint note on the palate that’s distinct.
