Gorgeous nose. So complex and lush but a strong undercurrent of dried herb, bloodiness, tang, dark fruit. Soulful and savory. Fascinating and long. Great

Dark and pure. Gnarly fruit with great intensity. Savory and slightly wild but very sophisticated. Intense, with a long life ahead.

Easily the classiest of the three late-90’s Hermitage selections in this flight and there really isn’t much more to say. The Chave just hits different. Plenty of life and enjoyment left in these.

Classic hermitage. Bacon and smoked meat! Rhone funk in spades

Gnarly blue fruit with forest floor, wood, a light whiff of band aid. On the palate young, dark, dense. Real quality here. Yum.

Incredible with the signature duck at EMP. Still lots of fruit and tons of depth
