Nice subtle nose of dark fruit and chocolate. Very nice tastes of blackberries, dried sage and a little hint of licorice. A very nice oak vein comes thru on the long finish. This is a world class wine with very solid tannins and just the right acidity. It probably will be better in 5 years but it was very good tonight.

One of my favorites. Very drinkable. Weird nose. Pairs well with lamb.

Bone dry, black plum, orange zest, oak. A bit tight out if the bottle. Short finish length. Acidic. Not a cocktail wine. But paired nicely with a Delmonico, as the acidity tames the marbling and adds a supple, if simple, note to the meal.

I want this wine in a handful of years, at least. Also, this needs at least a day of being open before it begins to unfold.

Perfumed nose with dense black fruit, leather, tobacco, and black tea qualities. Powerful, but elegantly balanced.
