This is big, bold, and sticky - bordering on cloying. After 4 hours of air it showed its magic. Intense package of chocolate, espresso, vanilla, baking spice, and black fruit. Layers and layers almost assault you. It’s a fun ride if you like this kind of rollercoaster. Would be fascinating to see what this turns into in 10-20 years. I may be able to get to the 94-96 others are rating. Unfortunately, I’m out! Starting a gofundme 😂. Cheers, have a great weekend and stay warm.

Complexity of dark fruit along with red currant berries and underneath side of tobacco leaf herb-leaf and cigar all together balances and deep on palate with yet soft structure at finishings 🤵🏼

This reminded me of the “dog food” analogy - meaning, this isn’t quite ready for human consumption.
@Robert Evans Jr needs to do his job and post all the wines...
This was good, but not great in my mind. Herbs and tobacco on the mid palate. Still a tannic monster. Good structure, but should have decanted this. Hold on to this vintage. — 5 years ago

[Wildberry Springs Estate Vineyard, 52% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc.] Earthy loamy aromas, redfruits, very nice balance and structure, long, lingering finish, needs more aging, but really lovely tonight!! — 23 days ago

A quick CV tasting with Margaret L on her return trip stopover. Excellent example with lively and softish textures and long finish. Opened 10/19/24 dinner with David. Still tasting the same, with Evans pork — a year ago

See previous notes. Classic Coonawarra mint, black fruits, dark chocolate and cigar box. Singing at 11 years but will go for another decade at least. Barb and I are flying to Adelaide today. Hire Car tomorrow for the 4 1/2 hours drive south to Coonawarra where we will be doing vintage at Bellwether for a week. Should be illuminating, hard work and rewarding with a great tutor in Sue Bell, owner and winemaker. Sue was lucky enough to be one of 12 in the annual Len Evans Tutorial a few years ago where they taste wines most of us can only dream of including flights of DRC, Rousseau etc. Sue was the Dux of her year and is in demand around Australia as a Show Judge. Should be a great week. — 4 years ago

Smooth, slightly sweet start. Green/spicy end notes, a bit stronger than I'd prefer, but good for smaller sips — 6 years ago
