Deep cherry fruit, spice. Round and balanced but still quite youthful.

Retains a sweetness and purity of fruit, albeit deeply integrated into the woodsy campfire, herbs, baking spices, leather, and oak, and layered with Brett-inflected tertiary complexity; the texture is plush and inviting but mellow; pleasantly contemplative.

Definitely a Christmas Day wine. Blackberry, currants, mulled spices that cling to the back of the tongue. Pair with pets for a German Shepherd around the ears to achieve this face 🥴.

Cigar box, leather, iron, smoke and dried herbs. Absolutely delicious and exciting to smell! A throwback to the other 'classy' 60's bordeauxs' I've had the pleasure of drinking: gun flint, tar, black tea, baking spice: reminds me of freshly toast bread sprinkled with graphite powder.

From a grand vintage. Black and blue fruits, soft spicebox & leather, some earth, smooth and elegant. Spice more pronounced with food. It's right around it's peak for the next 3-5 years.
