This is a huge wine with matching complexity and intensity. One quick whiff and i am picking up on blackberry, currant, and raspberry. A deeper pull brings out the leather, tobacco, cassis, cedar, and coffee. Plenty of vanilla all around. It all tastes beautifully integrated and complimentary alongside carefully constructed acidity and great tannic structure. Longgggg lasting finish. Superb. — a year ago

2010 vintage. Smooth up front with chocolate tobacco tones with slight plum. If finish was longer would get a higher rating. — 20 days ago

Nice balance between fruitiness and spiciness. Nice breadth of flavor and tannin. — 3 years ago
Tobacco, leather, graphite, and
cocoa powder on the nose. Powerful and tannic on the palate but with a pleasant black fruit sweetness and eucalyptus. — 3 months ago
Going to need to hold these for a few more years, the 2019 still needs some time.
Graphite dominates the palate. Lots of tobacco and vanilla too. The fruit just isn’t there. Tannins are super strong, lots of English breakfast. Medium acidity. It’s really tasty, but I suggest letting it rest. — 8 months ago

Gold at age 22. Aroma is full of flowers. Pineapple is clearly present on the palette with white pepper and pear secondary flavors. Went well with Pan fried Walleye with a Leek and White Wine Sauce — 13 days ago
