White before red. Just an incredible array of aroma and flavors with every sip. Cooked black plum, dried black cherry, dried rose petals, dust, cracked pepper, cedar, wood smoke, fur, olive, leather, cocoa powder, garrigue, tar, hot iron, black tea. Everything about screams rustic but the elegance of tannin and lengthy finesse counter everything peasant about it. More impressive on day 2 is the seamless nature of it, harmonious from front to back, gaining more an overall savory and meaty profile. The shiitake, cured meat, hoisin, talcum and leather really starting to unfold. I think this could be beautiful in 5-8 years, but I love the fruit component at this moment.

Smashing! Richly textured, very long, balanced acidity and held up with by tannic strength. The alcohol is not intrusive at all which surprised me given the ripeness here. Grilled pineapple, grilled peach, honey, yellow flowers, warm earth, anise, dried herbs, fenugreek, white tea, mushroom, marzipan, olive. — 9 days ago

Wonderful weight and meatiness. Needed plenty of time to unwind but such a nice ride once it did. Subtle spice with rich cab notes. Decanted and consumed over two nights. Was just as good if not better Day 2. — 3 days ago

Really fun. Very hot on the nose, not as abrasive on the palate. An amazing herbal exhibition. Juniper, anise(slight), menthol and any other aromatic dried herb/flower you could imagine. Great digestif. — 14 days ago

Had this at Bern’s Steak house. Often referred to as “Baby Grange,” ‘16: blend of 51% Cab Sauv & 49% Shiraz, aged 12 months in American oak, partly in previous-vintage Grange casks. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits, sweet and complex spice. On palate juicy blackberry flavors with notes of tobacco, cacao and toasty spices. Well balanced with acidity, fine ripe tannins, long finish ending with smoky spice, fruit & well integrated with oak, went well with my 19oz Strip Steak! — 14 days ago
