Fruity, deep berry, dry but heavy full fruit taste with a bit of tannins. Needs time to aerate but smooth drinking wine with lots of complex flavor. — a month ago

This is a fabulous sweet wine from Bordeaux.

Dark Golden in color.

Beautiful sweet nose of honey, yellow apples, apricots, honeysuckle, lemons, caramel, spices and white pepper.

Full bodied and bold, with high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with honey, citrus, tropical fruits, spices, lemons and brown sugar.

Long, long finish with citrus and limes.

This 8 year old still feels very young and concentrated. Nicely balanced with lots of acidity to balance the sugars. Tangy and interesting with a heavy mouthfeel.

Rich, yet elegant. Sweet and powerful. Creamy and bold. A delicious experience.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

A great vintage that shows its power. Already showing great complexity, but will age nicely in the next 50 years.

Decadent and delicious. A fabulous dessert wine.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Light to medium gold in color, heavy like oil in the glass. Awesome nose. Notes of apricot, citrus, matchstick, wet stone, tan spice and some petrol. Coats the mouth with luscious fruit, with some fine grained acidity always in the background. Drink now or over the next decade or two. Love this stuff — 3 years ago

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2.5 hours. It’s easily been a decade+ since tasting their entry level stuff. Medium/medium heavy body. A bit riper than expected. Haven’t come across those levels of ripeness on their higher end stuff in the last few years. Can see why some would absolutely love this tho. Missing structure that usually accompanies Hall reds. For such a big *ss vintage, thought there would be mas. Sadly, no. 11.7.24. — 2 months ago

Bold and heavy notes of woody herbs and raw meat on the nose mingle with deep dark black cherries and a licorice-like finish. — 2 years ago

Classic example. The oak is not as coconut and dill heavy and the fruit is a bit more forthright than some other Rioja producers. Nose of cigar red and blue berries. Palate of bright fruit with medium acid and tannin. Drinking well now, but this still has plenty, plenty of life. — 3 years ago

Still going strong but happy I drank it now. A wine that is linear in texture, less viscous- think whole milk and not heavy cream. Fresh black olives, tart black currant and plum with leathery notes. Tannins are gripping but fine and integrated- no soft velvety micro-oxygenated tannin here. Structurally very pleasant and balanced. — 2 years ago

Prior notes mostly apply; more stanky than our last bottle, green hay and decaying leaves. Decanted +4H, should be showing correctly tomorrow...Based on prior experience.

Nose has dry autumn leaves, ripe black cherry, dried tart cherry and a hint of coffee grounds. Palate has ripe black cherry, dried blackberry, moist soil, mild tannins on the medium finish. Very heavy sediment in the bottle. — 3 years ago
