  Solid, starting to show the end of life. A bit of Tar/menthol, resolved Tannins and full integration. Overall a good drink with saute beef , veggies and pasta.

  Subdued, somewhat earthy nose of dark fruit, coffee bean, potting soil, leather and cedar, well-balanced palate of crushed blackberry and ripe blueberry, secondary notes of mocha powder, peppercress, dark chocolate and grated nutmeg, rounded tannins, moderately lengthy, peppery finish. Beyond its’ heyday but still very nice. Excellent paired with bacon wrapped pork loin, roasted vegetables and whipped potatoes.

  Dark blueberry and leather. In a nice spot, with firm but smooth tannins.

  Wonderful wine. Needed something special to pair with a cognac marinated filet mignon to break in my new natural gas grill at my new outdoor kitchen. Definitely no disappointment. Well blended and smooth tastes of subtle spices engulfed in pleasant tones of blackberry, tobacco, and tar (and yes, these tastes of tar and tobacco are "pleasant") when served at a "room temperature" of about 60 degrees. No need to let it breathe as it equally delights right out of the bottle vis-a-vis 1 hour later. Enjoyable aftertaste fills the mouth for minutes on end. Whether you are a Turley newbee or a Turley aficianado (as Larry and his "family", as well as I, say that I am), please do not pass on the opportunity to taste this wine if you have a reasonable opportunity to do so as you will not be disappointed. I do not know how this wine can get much better than this but I have one more bottle that I hope to forget about until at least 2026.

  Pnp, drank over 3 hours. Delicious right from the start. Soft, smooth, blueberry/dark subtle fruits yet still has some weight. A slight floral nose with a touch of honey & spice. Enjoy now-2020.
