Still a big boy. Roasted fruit, celery, toast spice, medium tannins and nice acid. I think these wines are too big to begin with and fall down once aged.

Highly aromatic with prominent sous bois aromas accompanied by red berries with floral overtones.

Finisher ! 2013 Block 8 Bien Nacido Foxen. Going to these Monday night dinners I have learned to either spit (yup) when trying all these great wines and or sip the very best! Really good here! Foxen is fruit forward, with gobs of rich fruit. A must try!! CB 94

Gluttony is one of the seven deadly ones.... This silked up fashionista is full of velvet and sin. Stellar!
