The second best of the dozen wines celebrating a great friend's bachelor party (no strippers, only wine). Great Burg with mild spice and earth, big sour cherries - lovely bottle.

Deep garnet, purple. Some sediment. Plums, cherries, and some mushroom like quality on Day 1 with firm tannins. Brambles, cherries, conserved fruits and a little truffle on Day 2. Room filling aromatics. Tannins less firm. Hard to judge the future of this wine but I have to believe that the life is longer than most folks think. Drink with patience or hold. Upgrading score based on Day 2

Incredible... Could be five times the price planted to Pinot Noir but these few rows were planted to chardonnay. Acidity, fruit, flower, and minerality...

Fabulous wine ready, light on the nose but packed with flavour berries and brambles giving it a sweet summer fruit palate.
Have to recommend this to all you will enjoy it, A note to Danny subtle worthy of a bottle or two

Was probably delicious....but its past its prime. Not much flavor left. Drank in 2020.

Lovely bottle smooth with a light earthy note certainly suggest this with a light mezze.

Dark stone fruits, with barnyard to start. Good acidity. A little mushroom. Quite nice.
