2014 vintage. Decanted and chilled down slightly. Great cork. Smoky, reductive nose interspersed with dark plum. Medium body since this had shed the T-M winter coat. Raspberry, rhubarb and cranberry large and in charge initially but came back into the fold in due time with some forest floor and spearmint finishing touches/accents. Well knit. Absolute gamer and willing to be thrilling now and for the next 8-10 years. Showing so nicely. 4.18.26. — 2 months ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of black fruits and flowers. Very rich wine but well balanced. Really good now but will be better with 4 or 5 more years in the cellar. Great stuff. — 10 months ago

Pours a lemon yellow with slight effervescence which dissipated quickly. Aromas of tart lemon, salt spray, alpine wildflowers. Body on the lighter side of medium, tart citric fruit and saline finish. Somewhat simple, finish is medium. A nice wine, but could do better for the price. — 4 months ago

This has a bit more teeth. Darker, bolder red berries, light caramel, butterscotch notes, tree sap, twig, florals for days, what balance, length and elegant finish. Definitely my wheelhouse. Red burgundy candy in a good way. Great now but meant for the cellar. 8-10 yrs. — 4 months ago

Way better with a little time than right after release when it’s a little too stinky — 4 months ago
