  Chocolate, coffee, mocha. This is a hippie Williamsburg coffee shop in a bottle. Now, after 2+ hours open, is butterscotch (in those translucent orange wrappers my grandpa would crush through). @ Napa Boys Trip

  Dark ruby color. Lots of black currants, plums, licorice, chocolate and floral with hints of coffee in the nose. Blackberries, blueberries and licorice with hints of spice in the flavor. Well balanced, complex, full bodied, and a very long finish Will benefit from a few more years in the cellar to reach its peak.

  A near perfect wine for me. I love Materium but this is a not as heavy or fruit forward and is more elegant and more Bordeaux in style. Can go much longer but I can't imagine improvement - 99.

  Annual gathering with Chicago winos in Chicago (Smyth and The Loyalist - Chicago IL): Expressive nose displaying very ripe sweet red fruit, cherry liqueur, cherry pie, black cherry, licorice, caramel, strong oak/vanilla, milk chocolate and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of ripe red fruit, rich and opulent yet but also silky and polished, good acidity and mineral, and a long concerted sweet red fruit driven finish with noticeable oak at the end. The ripe red fruit reminded me of Maybach Materium. I prefer black or blue fruit with a hint of cassis in my Napa cabs.

  DC/Chicago Wine Dinner Extravaganza (Smyth and The Loyalist - Chicago IL): Third time I have tasted this wine, and it is surprisingly getting slightly more complex, so I enjoyed it more tonight than before. Still, not a style of wine that thrills me.
