Medium+ body. Ripe and juicy flavors of blackberry. Great dark fruit tannic structure that binds it all together. Would buy a ton for $60, tough QPR at $150.

Very strong nose of violets and black berries. Strong acidity and structure and definitely built for the long hall. Problem is bottle doesnt fit in any of my wine fridges so I had to drink early to make room. Bottle looks nice but it is just too darn big. Maybe I will try again when I build a wine cellar.

Very compact and concentrated wine from young vines in Napa. Real nice licorice, tar, and cassis. The finish had a distinct aspirin and chalky quality that reminded me of Axios. Killed the score for me.

Jammy blueberry rose pedal nose. Exciting acid, medium+ tannin. Huge. Light pencil lead, meat and dust on nose. Extraced ager. Very long.
