Nice father's day treat. A little heavy on the eucalyptus.

Aroma includes ink, Black currant, tabacco,
30 min, concentrated. Oak and complexity. No. Actual concentration came 90 min. Feel powerful. Fruity blue and black berry. 120 min texture is also getting better.
Mid +. Elegant and powerful one

Squid ink in color, this massive wine was surprisingly refined and sophisticated. Tinder box on the nose gives way to luscious black fruit and a long finish. — 6 years ago

An oddly-named bottling. “Oakville Grade”? I suppose majority of the juicy from Oakville, but I could not find much information on this 15’ blend.
Gentle nose of red cherry, blueberry, black currant, creme de cassis, fresh herbs, and vanilla. The medium to full body feels weightless at times. Full of fresh sweet (a bit too sweet for me) cherries flavor. Silky, plush, almost feminine. Finely grained sweet tannins.
From magnum. This is still very primary, and will have a long life ahead. — 4 years ago
