After having the ‘15 about two weeks ago, this is more Bordeaux style. The power has mellowed out and shown more leather, cherry, blackberry and anise. Some oak here with toasted cherries and blackberry, but the finish showed some underripe blueberry. Surprisingly young but ready to drink. Drink now.

Toasty richness. Red luscious ness. Tight and refined with some dark chocolate. Yummy. $68

We had the 2011 Vintage on 5/21-22/17. Dark purple in color. Dark fruit on the bouquet. Tastes of plum, blackberry and chocolate on the palate. Smooth finish to this full bodied wine. We bought this at the winery in July, 2014

Lovely finish of pure silkiness, robust fruit. Lots of cassiss. Would benefit from a couple more years in the bottle.
