Killing it. Ripe dark Calistoga fruit, cedar and graphite, great balance, soft tannins, a touch of bell pepper on the back end. And it’s only a ‘17.

Dark purplish ruby red. Dark nose coated with oak, blackberries and Asian five spice. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Dark palate with bright acidity and layers of savoy spices, baking spices, blackberries and a little bit blue too. Long finish. Drink till 2028.

Apr 4th, 2018Tasted side by side with the 15 Myriad NV and 15 Quivet NV.
Deep and dark purple. A bit mute to start on the nose but definitely filled with a cloud of dark fruits and dark spices. A touch of black raspberries poking through. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Rich and lush palate with cinnamon, brown sugar, black fruits and anise. Long and lingering finish. Lovely and will continue to purchase these. Drink till 2028. (93+)

Another great one from @Mike Smith. Curious to hear your thoughts on how you think this compares to the '15 Myriad NV... we have yet to try a bottle but I remember the pour you gave us in August being very good
