A very lush wine. Bordeaux/Rhône blend from Paso. Cherry liqueur, currants, violets, dark chocolate, coffee, star anise, nutmeg. Long and intense finish. Hedonistic!

Unusual. Quite heavy with a strong taste of anise/orange rind. Almost Retsina. Not what I expected. Either this is too young or it's corked.

Juicy, fruity and mild tannin. Would hold up well to steak.

47 Cab/27 Syrah/20 Petite Sirah/6 Petite Verdot. Been a couple years since I had the 12. Let it sit for 4 hours open, no decanter. Boozy but beautiful. This wine doesn’t wait to be invited in, it just comes on in. Imagine if cousin Eddie was classy. 😂

For my friend @Martin G Rivard ! This is his kind of wine. Slutty and full tilt with no pretense for subtly. I hope you have no need for bolt cutters, but if you do - I've got some I can send!
