The way that Russell’s wines mellow after several years in the bottle is just special. They need the time to resolve the alcohol a bit and they really settle into fantastic wines.

2015 Vintage. 15.2% ABV. Wow, what a monster of a wine! Just lovely violets and iodine with huge fruit. Drink now or hold.

This is a big wine and it paired nicely with spicy food. Lots of mouth feel and a long finish. Now that it’s done I am wishing that we had another!
