+2 hour decant(lots of cloudy sediment). A monumental dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark fruit, spearment, licorice, boiled meat, milk chocolate. Taste: smooth, creamy, velvety intense wine with cherry, plum, dark chocolate espresso, anise, black pepper, orange peel and a decent long finish. YUM! — 2 years ago

+1 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A striking dark magenta color. On the nose: sweet black fruit, earthy mushroom, leather, bacon, floral. Taste: deep, dark, rich, and silky as you would expect from a Manfred Krankl wine with blackberry, dark chocolate, bacon fat, earth, and a long peppery coffee ground finish. YUM! — 2 months ago

Incredibly dark and packed with blueberry and mocha. Confectionary and sweet tannins. Soft as can be. Just incredible! — 2 years ago

2014, Next of Kyn Rhone Blend. Color - a deep purple crimson. Black cherry sandalwood aroma hits the nose with some floral and spice notes lingering with hints of chocolate spearmint, and ground meat. Wow on the taste! Luscious full body — dark plumb and and deep raspberry flavors fill the pallet following with tastes of leather, orange peel, cedar tea and mocha. Long finish and a tannic punch, but a nice balance wine 3 hour decant —could continue to open up throughout the evening. Looking forward to see how the flavors may change or resolve into something new. — 4 years ago

Only have 1 bottle and could not wait any longer to try his first vintage of this Portugal grape from his Cumulus vineyard.

2 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A remarkable dark purplish garnet color. On the nose: dark fruit, smoke, new leather, touch of menthol, cedar. Taste: velvety, layered, concentrated mouthcoating wine with blackberry, milk chocolate, spice, clove, cinnamon and a dark cherry licorice long finish. YUM! Still plenty of time to go..a supercharged Portugal red wine. — a year ago

Excited to try this 2013!. A dark inky purple color while the nose takes you in with aromas of dark cherry-cassis, dark chocolate, subtle mint and touch of meat and sweet cinnamon sugar. Oh my! — creamy, luscious and a full body elegant wine. Blackberry-cherry fruit stand out with deepening tastes of chocolate espresso, bacon fat, pepper spice and cinnamon adding to its long finish. What a delight on this hot Friday night inside our cool home! Got to try it!! — 3 years ago

Spectacular. Pretty sure that if I had decanted it and let it breathe for a couple of hours, I’d be giving it a 10. Just incredible from start to finish. — 4 years ago
