Its a nice bottle, but the 16 William & Mary takes the ribbon because of the nose alone. This is still kind of muted — 4 years ago

I was first introduced to this wine by @Carl Fischer back in Oct over dinner. It caught the attention of many that night, It is still captivating. Refined, sleek and elegant. Blackberry and kirsch fill the nose. I can’t get over the sweet tannins-full bodied and bold yet smooth and defined. Palate rounds out with mocha, crushed blue and black fruits with a hint of tobacco. Drying finish the sails for 30 sec. 2 hour decant- — 6 years ago

This wine is super refined and elegant. The amount of acid was noticeable at this point - and the tannins are strong even after a four plus hour decant. This is one for the long haul. It was cool to taste this side by side with the ‘12 vintage as well as next to the ‘12 regular Estate. All so different yet all so good. Such wonderful wines it’s sad they’re no longer making them. — 7 years ago
