Blackberry flower. Blackberry powder. So pure and dark. Brooding but detailed. Morey-like. Palate is juicy with such insane fruit. Velvety, ample and sweet with wonderful powdery tannins and terrific structure and freshness. Classic.

Nov 11th, 2022Such a nice nose. Really light touch but pretty and detailed. So old school. Floral. Bright. High toned. Chestnut. Killer aromas. Better than last bottle. Palate is juicy, nimble and has terrific cherry fruit that lasts and lasts. Very fresh. Velvety tannins. A bit of an angular quality but needs air but also thats 2014 sometimes. Very tense vintage. I like it. Like 2008 in Burgundy. Terrific showing. Good concentration and depth. Nice sweet cherry fruit.

Don’t be fooled by the label, looking like a closeout from the Olive Garden. This is serious shit, a gourmand wine full of character & finesse. Tar on the nose, palate is high acid with tremendous freshness. Angular at first, but with air the sweet cherry fruit moves to the forefront. Floral & foliage sing backup. Miles to go. Incredible value from Fass Selections @Lyle Fass

Iodine, tar, mashed roses, lifted aromas that penetrate the nasal cavity. Divine. Palate is high acid and very lifted with sappy early mid season cherry fruit. Not as dense as 2010 and maybe more angular but superb anyway as the balance is there. A great wine in a tough vintage. The acid is so good and the wine is balanced. Really took what the vintage gave it.
