1st monthly wine group meetup for 2025, and everyone went big tonight. Nose: dark fruit, wet forest floor, sweet spice, cedar, truffles, touch of roasted meat. Taste: silky, energetic, balanced wine with red plum/berries, minerals, damp earth, tobacco, cinnamon chocolate espresso wrapped up in an amazing medium plus finish. YUM! — a day ago

At 25 years I thought this might be over the hill. Initially mute and astringent. Time in the decanter did miracles. Nieces called it green olive, sweet fig, and cave (wet moldy grey cave)…. Nailed it! — 15 days ago

First wine of 2025 and had to open something fun! From Mag.

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red color. On the nose: jumping from the glass is ripe dark fruit, currants, mint, floral, wet forest floor, truffles, and some roasted meat. Taste: smooth, soft, silky, seductive wine with plum/cherry, earth, cedar, minerals, and a medium plus smokey spiced chocolate finish. YUM! — 11 days ago
