The Fimasaurus Red Bordeaux Blend

Alex’s first full-control vintage.

As @David L would say ”It’s a baby” 👶 not anywhere close to prime time. Definite hold.

This guy is under appreciated for his reds. Superb.

Opulent, hedonistic and broad shoulderd, this blockbuster sculpture wasn't made using small utensils. Huge fruit, huge structure and (if possible) huge acidity for balance. I thought it was better from barrel, but it's still damn impressive. Wait a few more years though, is it needs to shed some of its toasty oak.

Very rich and deeply concentrated, especially for a 2011. Layers of blackberries, sweet cherries and cocoa. Very loooong!

Quite delicious.

A right bank blend from Kongsgaard. This is quite delicious. The merlot flavors and aromatics come through in particular. Lush texture. Serving suggestion: stand this up ahead of time as it sheds a lot of sediment.

Give this a good decant and serve with rich food. This still has a sturdy tannic presence but is rich and delicious.

This has a rich core of dark fruit. Like many 2013s from Napa, this is very structured and it could probably use a bit more time for the oak to further integrate.

Dark red fruit, plum, black fruit and oak.
