1.5 hour decant(little fine sediment). A striking dark magenta color. On the nose: Inviting notes of dark berries, sandalwood, herbaceous, smoked meat, potting soil. Taste: silky, layered, balanced wine with dark plum/cherry, dried herbs, spice, and a cedar/mocha java lingering long finish. YUM!! — 13 days ago

Almost identical to my previous note but more refined and bolder. I was probably too tough before as this rocks! — 8 months ago

You definitely get the Merlot here. 67% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet.

2016 an excellent vintage. This still needs more cellaring.

The mouth entry is round, lush & velvety. Fruits lead mid toned but nice blackberries, plum, strawberries cherries, raspberries and a touch of black raspberries. Dark chocolate, mocha, dark, rich, slightly sweet forest floor, light fresh tobacco, excellent softly layered baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & vanillin, hints of granite, red cola/licorice. Beautiful, dark, red florals, red roses petals, near perfect acidity, excellent balance/tension/structure with an elegant finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and falls evenly on fruits & beautiful earth. — 2 months ago

Surprisingly robust and fresh for a 2017. Aromas of baking spices, strawberries, hint of vanilla and subtle notes of oak. Flavours of strawberry, vanilla and spiced fruit cake with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity. Paired with roasted chicken thighs in a balsamic cherry sauce. — 9 months ago
