I’m not a big fan of Limerick Wines, just not my style. However, that is not the case with this. I get this hint of chicory and Five Spice on the nose. Rich and vibrant raspberry, anise and spiced plum saturate the palate. Great depth one the finish with full integration of smoke and tannins.

Interesting blend of Zin, Syrah and Grenache. Sturdy and well structured, it'll benefit from further cellaring. Dark fruits, good tannic grip and dense.

First LL Ive enjoyed. Maybe the blend. Maybe the 8 years age. Syrah and Grenache give this zin-dominant blend a material savory element.

Good. Not worth what we paid for it. Carly says it’s lacking character.

Very backward at the moment. Dark brooding cherry, dark berry. gravelly. 93 for now but this will develop/improve substantially over the years.

Had the 2013 sibling of Saturday’s 2016. Although the flavors aren’t as pronounced, it’s more approachable right now. Raspberry and plum, drank well with dinner.

Brooding and dark - decanted 6 hours and still wound for sound.
