Perhaps one of my best bottles. Needed one hour to open. What a great bottle. A fantastic blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Franc. Smooth, balanced, a touch of pepper / spice. This bottle was great.

This was a pop and pour after returning from dinner. Definitely could have used a decant. Dark cherry and red/black fruit on the nose and palate. Deft touch of oak and well balanced, with a lingering finish. Absolutely no hurry here. 94+

Popped and poured courtesy of tlv. Dark color, inky and dense. Cherry cordial, kirsch, mocha, chocolate and herbal elements in the bouquet, adding a pretty floral element after thirty minutes in the glass. Full-bodied with finely knit tannins and flavors of black currant, cassis, vanilla and chocolate. Balanced, with a lingering finish. Drinking very well despite its youth. 94+ pts with plenty of upside potential.

First bottle after waiting patiently on this vintage. Beautifully balanced wine that is in a great spot right now. The group consensus was extremely positive with a fight for the last drop of this bottle. Extremely biased toward the work at Outpost and the Immigrant bottling but it’s difficult to find much better bottles than this.

My first 15 Immigrant to be pulled from the cellar stash. Of the recent vertical of 13-15 this one was my favorite. Still classic Outpost build, the 15 seems to be the most balanced and integrated. Plush fruit with oak on the nose, gobs of blue fruit hedonism. Not my style of wine anymore but I'll hold onto these when the right palates are in attendance. This would have been one of my favorites not long ago.
