Fairly deep and complex, and quite massive. It feels ready to drink, with lots of open fruit and spices. A little too big a personality for my palate, but interesting and compelling in its own way.

This is a tight mama! Wrapped up like a child in a blizzard 🥶! Such potential with the black fruit. This needs 10 years more in the bottle or 2 more hours in a decanter!

Purplish ruby core with dark ruby edges. Dark nose with tons of cassis, black fruits, dark cocoa and some minerality. Full bodied with medium plus tannins (7.5/10). Rich palate with a ton of earthiness, dark berries, cinnamon, and some nutmeg. Long finish. Drink till 2032.

Disgracefully strong showing. Tightly coiled nose of pine. Very interesting palate displaying notes of mint, coconut and jet-black raspberries. Bottomless depth. Beguiling expression of Cabernet. I just soiled my pants...
Another gift from @David L and Kristen.

I’m running out of superlatives. Drum tight presentation. So textured it’s almost gnarly. As Carl remarked, must be sourced from mountain fruit.

This is exactly what happened drinking and enjoying this wine at the winery
So glad I had this wine and experience and why I purchase this wine - smiles forever
