Love it. Big. It’s not sweet but there is a candy like quality of the massive blueberry and raspberry. Could not stop drinking it. There is time and it will be interesting to see where it goes but I can’t imagine it will be better.
Drank this bottle at a dinner with my wine mates at Chao Shan Cuisine to celebrate someone winning the lottery.
Very dark purple. Muted nose upon opening. Some sweet bubblegum and candy floss notes can be detected initially. After 30 mins in the glass the wine started to evolve and was more approachable and palatable.
Hi-Chew grape candy in the finish.

Similar to my note in 2019, the 2010 Ares is in a fabulous place. This was the wine of the night for everyone: very flavorful, well-balanced, and smooth.

Big, smooth and remarkably complex. In a great spot. Not sure how much time is left. Love it.
