Jun 1st, 2021Black cherries, some spices, quite juicy, with touches of leather, cedar. & licorice. New world, but a great nose. Big, spices, lots of black fruits, with noticeable tannins, medium + acid, cedar, some chalk, & licorice on the finish. Slightly chewy with good balance. Good qpr.

Feb 12th, 2022Big muscular winter wine. Tannines still very present, even after 7 years ;-)

Feb 15th, 2021Smacks you in the face with French oak - clove, nutmeg, vanilla bean, cedar bark. There is a richness to the oak, which mellows with air. Plum, blackcherry, and black raspberry fruit too... rich and extracted in style. Palate delivers smokey dark cherry and plum, with cocoa shavings engulfed in vanilla and baking spices. Think cherry jubilee with vanilla bean ice cream. Tannins have softened and are balanced beautifully with elegant acidity. Rich and opulent. This is winter time fireside wine - pair with dark chocolate mousse. Drink now with a splash decant.
