Decanted for an hour, still a big powerful wine. Lots of oak/vanilla on the nose, dark fruits on the back end. Could still cellar for another decade.

Solid Bordeaux blend. Nothing special but it has the right flavors and for the price I paid, it was a great value.

I love this wine. The nose is dynamite with rich black fruits, baking spices, candle wax, and licorice. Strikingly well-balanced with plentiful notes of plum jam, blackberry cobbler, cedar, dark chocolate, and coffee on the palate.

Apr 1st, 2018Love this Bordeaux blend. So elegant and classy, yet vibrant and mature. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec. On the nose juicy, dusty red fruits. Candle wax, graphite, menthol, and potpourri. Suave mouthfeel with ripe berries, blackberry cobbler, Christmas spice cake, and fig on the palate.

Jan 28th, 2018Fantastic as always. Whenever I revisit this selection I am continually surprised at how delightful it is. Highly complex nose with espresso, mocha, dark chocolate, licorice, wax, and cedar. On the palate chocolate covered cherries, cinnamon dusted plums, melted dark chocolate, molasses, and anise.
