This is a partnership with Adrian Hoffman. This wine creates a body glow like I've not experienced. The mouth entry just is an OMG long moment. The lush fruits explode and layer over your palate. Ripe, lush, fruits of; blueberries, turning dark cassis, black plum, blackberries, warm soft spices; Clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & hints of vanilla, light baking spices, black tea, plum cake, light tarry notes. Then, the lighter red fruits unfold as it sits on the palate. Perfect wine harmony!!! 4 years in oak.

My 1,000th bottle on Delectable!!
Sorry for the long note in advance, as I truly value brevity and conciseness.
2 hour plus decant. Dark purple color. Nose contains massive vanilla and oak. If I drank blind I would have guessed Spain or Portugal, as it was just like the wines we had in Mallorca but higher quality; but honestly it’s like nothing I’ve had before.! Wine is super sweet with very little fruit. Deep and concentrated. Dessert in a glass! Huge vanilla and maple syrup flavors; like pancakes in a glass. I bet this would pair amazing with breakfast for dinner - eggs, steak, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. While not my style, I could drink this all day long. Amazing texture and long finish. Definitely high quality. How a wine could taste like this is beyond me!!! Points for being totally unique and well made!!
Thanks to MG for the gift!!

May 1st, 2018Probably the best wine I've ever had. I tasted this blind next to some great bottles and this one shone. Intense, balanced palate, complex with good structure. Amazing nose - love it! Thanks Chris Ringland!
