  Everyone enjoyed this at a small get-together. Went very well with roast chicken, scalloped potatoes, and green beans. Again, the front end was a little jarring, but is otherwise stellar.

  14.01% abv. 1st of 3 bottles from a recent auction.
  This was very nice, but not completely harmonious at this stage in its life. The combination of alcohol and high acidity detracted a bit, especially on the front end. Much better once you got to the mid-palate, with lovely fruit expression and a nice backbone of acidity. No hurry on this, as it has a chance to come together more as it ages.

  Bright nose of dark berries. On the tongue, again, dark berries--blueberry, currant--but, also, as much as anything, cola. Noticeable tannin, but, certainly, not anything to scare off those who are tannin averse. Just a so-easy-to-drink wine. I messed up on this one, I should have ordered more.

  Plush and complex, with dark plum and berry fruit, graphite, violet and long finish.
