Medium deep purple, slightly obscured but still bright; Lovely pure concentrated blue and black fruits, raspberry, loam; mouthfilling, not a wall flower but really nicely balanced, aged exceptionally well. Seamless and beautiful. B's house

Opened and poured. Thin and watery showing medium body. Pretty good. No heat. Rhubarb, cherry and strawberry-plum notes, with plenty of fruit still, though showing secondary development. These style wines are holding the sugars to remain sweet in age, which is an enjoyable trait.

After an hour, this really began to sing. I appreciate the screw cap, and this is in immaculate condition. Drinking well and still capable of a few more years, this has evolved. Dried cranberry, wild mushroom, red spice, red clay and wild sage brush. A medium finish, with a full body, yet still retains a transparent profile. At 15.1% alcohol, there is no heat at all. Drink now - 2022.

Ten years from vintage, and this wine drinks like it's been in the bottle half that time. Bright, fruity (raspberry being dominant), and clean, it's only starting to take on some mellowing. We loved it!

Super bright and fresh fruit, well preserved under screw cap. Tasted over two days. This bottle stayed fresh the entire time. Blackberry and other dark fruit with a bit of red raspberry. Fairly complex, medium to full body, fully integrated tannins, and balanced. Terrific.
