Deep garnet with complex aromas of black fruits and sweet spice. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with sweet baking spices. Firm ripe tannins, lingering finish ending with earthy smoky character.

This wine comes from an estate that has seen many names through the years, but great quality wine throughout. Classic to pessac-leognan/graves style using some new French oak, with ample acidity and layers of complexity - straw/golden color, meyer lemon, and crushed rock/gravel minerality. I called Pessac-leognan 2013 - guess I like my Bordeaux blanc.

White Bordeaux, aka some classy shiz. Vibrant melon and pineapple on the nose with some peaches and cream on the palate.. Great bottle.

F'in delicious... lush and ripe. Fruit driven with layers and layers of tangerine, dragon fruit, passion fruit and quince. Oak is noticeable but super well integrated...Incredibly driven wine. Could definitely go another 5+ years. It would be fun to see where it goes.

Love this. Just the right amount of oak for my tastes. It would hold up well to a spicy meal or a nice fish. Makes me hungry
