Very Nice. Berry flavor. Subtle spice. Feels thin but smooth and full at the same time. Good tannin. Balanced. Would definitely get another bottle. — 18 days ago

Wow! This was awesome! 1hr ish decant. Dark red color. Cedar, dark cherries, and subtle floral tones. Insane texture. Fruit forward mixed with Napa sweetness and cherries. Medium plus depth and finish. — 2 months ago

Impressive NZ SB: you have to like this in your face style: huge blast of grapefruit & gooseberry, grassy herbal notes, stones & minerals, it is intense. Not too acidic or angular on palate - particularly if you let it warm up just a bit, fruit turns smoother & more tropical, but still that wall of grapefruit & gooseberry. Lingering dry finish resonates — 2 months ago

Very smooth but I will see how hungover I am tomorrow before I give it a proper rating — a month ago

2008 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 10 mins-2 hrs. Super small amount of sed in the dregs. Vibrant nose and relatively balanced early on but picked up some overt tartness after lounging in the decanter for an hour. Medium body. Decent showing and maybe has 3-4 more years at this level before dropping down another notch. 9.23.23. — 3 months ago
