2011 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Tasted 2.5 hours and 3.5 hours after opening. Medium-heavy body. Some powerful chunkiness afoot but wouldn't categorize the wine as rustic. Balanced mix of fruit, earth and mineral. No rush to crush. 02.22.25. — 14 days ago

The 2013 IX Estate is a wild, exotic wine. In a sense, it marries the savory aromatic intensity of the Tychson Hill with the fruit richness found in the Cariad. It is another wine that has aged impeccably. There's plenty of mountain tannin and savoriness, along with the underlying structure to age well for many years to come. In a word: magnificent!
