Ripe black currant, damp leather, pencil lead, raspberry-fig bar; Dried black cherry, chocolate espresso cake, faint vanilla. Decanted 10H.
Paired with long braised (local, Columbia Co. NY ❤️) lamb shanks, charred carrots w/ maple glaze and garden mashed potatoes. A great 2023 Easter dinner, BDX is the best pairing for lamb, of many preparation styles.

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, smoky cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with toasty notes and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit toasty-smoky oak and an earthy spice character. Nice! Pair this with maple crusted pork chop! — 2 years ago

Super volatile nose with notes of paint thinner, creme de cassis, aged cherries in liqueur, oxdized in a way that reminds me of bandol sweet wines with walnuts and maple syrup almost. The palate is dry, with high alcohol, but also a balancing acidity. Red fruit and some leather, pine forest and tart cherry skin. Long finish, very contemplative wine. From 100+ yo Carignan vineyard co-planted with local varieties. Two years in old barrels. — 4 years ago

Caramel, maple, nutty and sweet aroma with an even sweeter taste. Sings a sweet song on your tongue as it crescendos with a lovely finish. Great sipping wine. — 9 months ago
