Beautiful wine with aromas of cigar, bacon lard, cedar, pepper, vanilla, and cooked meats. Great flavors of tar, tobacco leaf, and cassis. Long finish and polished tannins.

Beautiful wine with great structure, of course I am biased as it is our fruit. But the wine is really really good.

Another NYE magnum, to kickoff 2022 & begin dryuary. I’ll spend the next month scrubbing my purple teeth from this grapey beast. :)
Dry cork, but decanted & delicious. It is interesting that many of my 15+ yr corks crumble, yet the wine is fine 90% of cases)?

Nice dark color and nose. Full body, dry, balanced. Lots of plum and blackberries on palate. Perfect for relaxing at the hotel on a cold snowy night.
