Jun 24th, 2022I know I committed infanticide but I wanted to share a special bottle with a favorite cousin who never has an opportunity to drink a wine like this . A powerful , and complex nose of blueberries, florals, and red fruit. On the palate the wine was constantly changing and continuously putting weight on. Deep and concentrated flavors of  plums, chocolate , tobacco and licorice that suppressed the wine’s tannic structure.

Jan 23rd, 2020Merry Christmas all! Opened this Christmas Eve at 9am, but by 5:15pm, it wasn’t ready. So we tried again Christmas dinner. Gorgeous. Dried fruit, cocoa, tobacco. Long smooth finish. Can’t wait to try it again in 10 years or so…
