Initially Raspberry tart and Brett in a good way. Cork is amazing! Rich thick chewy mouthfeel. Fruit and wood still very prominent and well integrated. Surprised this has really held up well.

A good wine from a challenging year. Medium bodied, aromas of sage and leather. Signatures of licorice, tar and plumbs. Very drinkable right now and perfect this evening with delicious stew for the winter.

Dec 18th, 2017This is awesome! Cab Franc, Merlot and Cab. Pop and pour. Smooth, balanced and I dare you to drink just one. This is like potato chips. Basically the wine you would make for yourself. I need a case. SS

Dense and concentrated for budget Bordeaux. Seven years old but a lot of life left in it. Heavier focus on Cab Franc yields bigger funk at first. An hour in the funk dials down to a more spicy, black pepper quality. Mid palate fruit before rusty, dusty, Brett-y tannins dominate the finish. Tremendous with duck confit appetizer and hangar steak entree.

Eucalyptus at first, then full prune-raisin flavors. medium-plus body. Versatile foodwise. Did not get the "brett" that others describe.
