Gingerbread, candied cherry jolly rancher, Forrest floor- aged perfectly. Stunning wine.

On the nose and the palate, you can see where this is going to evolve.
A beauty to behold. The nose displays graphite, iron and a blackberry compote. Palate is consistent with perfect weight and balance. Moderate acidity enables this to tilt towards a Bdx, rather than Napa. Extremely well done. A baby that needs more time in the bottle. Drinking with close friends. Does not get better…

From decanter and contributed by a late arriver....so I’m not sure of how long it was open, but this was petulant. Just so youthful and stubborn.

May 19th, 2019This was my WOTF among impressive company. Profound rocky soiled pleasures on full tilt. Amber edges and just so round, lush and full from jump. Blackberry kirsch and cassis. Softening tannins but this wine has the stuffing to be a 50+ year wine IMO. Profound in its aged intensity. An exceptional special wine. Big ups to @Shawn R for this one.

Mostly opaque. Dark purple-ish tawny. Distinctive nose; ripe cherry, hickory, spice, some rhubarb and a little flower scent. Decent balance in the mouth with fruit and some remaining structure. Declined in performance with 2+ hours of air. Decent juice but drink up.
