  Last one from Lance's last vintage.
  
  I'm amazed that this is showing so young. I was worried it might be past it's prime but it really is showing something tonight.
  Needed an hour open.
  Nose is rich, with some nice fruit and a touch of spice.
  Palate is nicely elegant. Not big not in your face but very nicely elegant. There's beautiful fruit here with some nice soft tannins and a decently long finish.
  excellent wine.
  Would buy again.

  This wine possesses fabulous fruit with delightful spices and a smokey chocolate character. Lovely expression of the grapes and terroir. The Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Frank, Petite Verdot and Malbec gives you and intensity notes of plum and blackberries with smoke, cassis and light wood spice. Great balance and notable for its harmony, medium body and chewy with loads of fruits still present. Long on the finish with a silkinnes that coats the palate. Outstanding effort from the wine makers, the marriage of the grape, tannin and oak is amazing and the experience to share this with family remains to last long.

  Just lovely. Decanted with an hour air. Velvety texture, full, all pretty integrated.

  nose on pop and pour is nicely full. Cherry, hints of vanilla, blueberry, something softly spicy. Still evolving.
  Palate starts out soft and plush and on the midpalate a full spiciness that transitions to a long lingering finish filled with black and blue fruit and some spice.
  I may have time to post more later as it evolves and I'm certain this is still moving in positive direction.
  Would buy again.
