In such a great spot. Tar, roses and mid season black cherries. So ebullient and aromatic. Smoke and mesquite BBQ as well and even a bit of hoisin. Palate is elegant and juicy with luscious and sweet cherry fruit and great length. Just so well made. Really velvety and complex. So sappy and pure. Love this. A great 15!

Jun 2nd, 2023Been over a year since I’ve had this. Lovely spice and cherry. Tar, leather, smoke. Terrific cherry fruit. Superb minerality and what brightness and depth. Impressive. Glorious cherry fruit and perfect balance. Very pure and wonderful velvety tannins. Great showing.

Oct 23rd, 2020The 2015 here is awesome. Huge nose of tar, chestnut, roses, tobacco, big cherry fruit. Palate is loaded and young but so so fresh with unreal fruit. Sweet, earthy, damson and oh so elegant. Wonderful length and velvety tannins.

Nose has black cherry reduction, milk chocolate coated cherry, dried grape vine, dry leather and limestone paste.
Palate has holiday spiced cherry, plum skin, muddy garden soil, corner brownie, cherry juice with mildly grippy, yet smooth tannins. A long finish and many years to go until I pull the next corks; check this again in 2024+.
Decanted 5h and it appreciated every minute we gave it, really singing now.

From Lyle Fass so email buy only? Needs time at the moment quite tannic really puckers your mouth - this will need probably 5 more years. Violets leather dark cherries 🍒 Morello cherries chalky. Long. Spice driven back palate dried orange skins. Quite impressive. But again this needs to be put away and forgotten for some time not ready!
