Gritty, muscular, and high in acidity, this eventually came through with gorgeous stewed plums and figs, pressed flowers, potpourri. A juggernaut, and perhaps it’s more acidic qualities will soften with time. — 6 years ago
Insanely well integrated, big, overripe jammy blackberry and cherry fruit up front is followed closely by bushels of briary herbs, tingly pepper, smoked meat, chocolate, blood, vanilla, tobacco, bergamot, blood orange, alder, saddle leather, earth, minerals, and just about everything else under the sun while somehow remaining superbly poised and balanced. A masculine juggernaut that just kept giving and giving new flavors over the course of several hours. Wowzers. — 10 years ago

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of black currants, black cherries, and vanilla; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, medium body, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of cherries, cassis, and camphor with a medium finish. This wine is complex, but a little out of balance. It pairs well with steak. Overall, I rate this wine as good. Nellie likes it with food. — 2 days ago
