Nov 27th, 2019Wild, intense and full of life. When I tasted this a year ago I remember it being a bit deeper and more sedate, but this bottle was funky fresh still showing some great complexity.

Fully resolved palate with stunning depth and purity. Elegant and light yet also has great flavor intensity. So balanced and juicy. Amazing wine.

Jan 12th, 2016Surprisingly firm tannic structure and freshness from a 15 year old wine. Black cherry compote, dried herbs, and fresh pipe tobacco flavors.
