Enjoyed at Alpen Rose on the once in a lifetime occasion of Claudia’s 18th birthday with her friends and family. Amazing night. Bittersweet. Wine was amazing as always.

Slow ox for two hours. Full bodied, it turns up the dial in concentration and exuberance but then has enough acidity to rein it so it doesn’t feel heavy. Developing complexity and finishes long and satisfying.

Medium ruby color. Brooding verdant nose of black and red fruits, wet forest floor, soft spices, toasted oak, slight menthol finish. Dry, rounded acidity, silky tannins, palate follows through. Medium full body. Immaculate balance. Long lingering finish. Brilliant. Power with elegance.

I let this 100% cab breathe in the glass for two hours before enjoying. Had a sip on first pour though Started out medium weight and was nervous. But filled out over time. Just needed a few hours out of the bottle. Not a whole lot going on with the peppery nose with minor hints of menthol and nutmeg, but the fruit is pure, polished, dense and dark. Perfect acidity level. Really fine grained but dense with a long finish. Just right for me.
