Expensive fruit bomb in a juggernaut bottle — 8 years ago
Insanely well integrated, big, overripe jammy blackberry and cherry fruit up front is followed closely by bushels of briary herbs, tingly pepper, smoked meat, chocolate, blood, vanilla, tobacco, bergamot, blood orange, alder, saddle leather, earth, minerals, and just about everything else under the sun while somehow remaining superbly poised and balanced. A masculine juggernaut that just kept giving and giving new flavors over the course of several hours. Wowzers. — 8 years ago
Medium ruby color; raspberries, cherries, and green herbs on the nose; medium acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like tart cherries, hibiscus; and wet slate with a long finish. It's pretty good. — a month ago

Gritty, muscular, and high in acidity, this eventually came through with gorgeous stewed plums and figs, pressed flowers, potpourri. A juggernaut, and perhaps it’s more acidic qualities will soften with time. — 4 years ago
