  This wine stood out with its youthful character. The aroma revealed ripe raspberries and strawberries. It boasted a well-balanced structure, with pronounced notes of spice and tobacco on the palate, yet maintaining a delightful fruit-forward profile. No complaints; it was thoroughly enjoyable.

  Blended with Cab Franc and Merlot. Fascinating nose, fresher than you would think, but unique notes of balsamic, dried spice, bruised plum, fresh violets. Palate is gorgeous, fuller than expected for the age, still mostly primary fruits but with development happening as well, fresh tobacco, old cedar, structure also showing younger than you would think. Fabulous stuff overall, and clearly could age for quite a bit longer.

  Enjoyed this wine with a great piece of beef. On the nose were hints of black fruit with some spice on the palate. The tannins were soft and the remaining acidity was sufficient for a nice round taste.

  Deep garnet color. Quite herbal on the nose with hints of wet grass and hay. Dark blackberry, plum and a bit of raisin on the palate. Full bodied, opaque with a warm, silky finish.

  Rolling the tape back to some old notes that suggest past its prime this wine is drinking very nicely after hour one looking forward to another glass soon. I would give this a 45 minute decant. Cheers!
