  This followed a ‘13 Carter BTK and yet held its own. Young? Yes. Delicious in its own way? Absolutely! Tannins resolved and complimentary, yet surprisingly some oak in play trying to impede the fruit. That being said, it was a first world problem, this was really good from a 375. Red and black fruited, quite balanced, buy 375s if you find ‘em while those 750s slumber.

  Big, inky purple, dense ripe fruit, but actually surprisingly elegant and balanced. I was expecting this might be a bit over the top after seeing the color, but there are quite fine tannins on the finish and the structure holds the wine together nicely. Very good.

  Tar, burnt rubber, ash, black currant, dark plum, shaved pencil, vanilla turning into toffee, forest floor, moist bark. Delicious fruit on the palate, super intense busting blackberries but with a savoury umami component of animal fat. Very dense in the mid-palate. Components aren't integrated as yet but each of them is sensational. The finish almost rains on your palate. Wow.
