9.3

Deep ruby in color; cassis, graphite, and black plum on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like black cherries, boysenberries (I think), red bell pepper, and crushed gravel with a long finish.

After decanting for a little over an hour, I get baking spices, blackberries, and black plums on the nose; the tannins and acidity are still there, but a little more balanced; it tastes the same, but it is definitely better after the decant. I love this wine and how tart it is, but I know it's not for everyone. Nellie likes it with steak. — 5 months ago

Clean, citrusy Chardonnay. Lots of lime, some tropical fruit, subtle oak and some herbal notes in nose — 5 years ago

Medium gold in color; Lemon, honeysuckle, and maybe pineapple on the nose; medium plus acidity; tastes like starfruit, yellow apple, and saline with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. — 5 months ago

9.2

Not a strong smell. Has a light, delicate taste that lasts surprisingly long. It comes from a very small winery in South Africa, so it’s hard to find. I really enjoyed it. — 5 years ago

Majestic. Skin contact. Tea and orange peels. Good complexity. — 9 months ago

9.0

It drinks like a bold Bordeaux with a burst of dark fruit and an earthiness that gives way to a floral middle and a gritty, graphite finish. Great wine! — 10 months ago
