Trying to jam in as many date-nights as I can!
Like my wife, this wine is a stunner. Lovely notes of chocolate and olives on the nose. Palate is lithe and dense. Displays hard candy, black fruits. Rich underripe tannins are joined with bold acidity. Delicate oak treatment, along with a β€œsense of place,” concludes what is a complete package.

@Joe Lucca - you are a great friend - loving this wine brother - can't wait to see you again

This is the bomb - robust tart young but man is it delicious - bold like the Navy seals yet robust flavors galore

Dilly Dilly my friend and all of you in the WNH

Wow! This wine blew me away (as well as a few others who were tasting it for the first time). Extremely aromatic, dense core of dark fruit, lively mouthfeel, beautiful finish. Loved every second of it, and at 2015 this is a baby. Highly recommend!

Amazing all around; nice intensity of fruit, integrated oak, well balanced acidity and great structure. Bravo!!!

Each time I have this 13 I like it more and more. Shared with family who hadn't tried it before and they also loved it. The finish on this is long and focused just love it.

Big and opulent, velvety. Floral and chocolate intertwined with dark fruits and chewy tannin. Check these guys out.

Chocolate velvet big long finish mouth feel. Goes on and on and on. This is truly "brilliant" but thanks for mistakes like this! What a big beauty!

Following a day at Ovid is not an easy task but this wine did not disappoint. Intriguing floral nose with a nice burst of dark fruit on the palate. Smooth finish. Great wine and great people.
