Go softly into the dark! Silky with weight, paint it black! Fruit.

Very nice. Has nice acid (low crop vintage) so long life ahead

Corked broke. Again. Constant issue with older Nickel wines and particularly this one

Thankfully wine was solid. Starts off quite juicy and plush.

With a little time and the right food pairing, it provides a little more grip and flavor.

For me - this took some caviar and salt to really get it going and then it was at another level. Rating is with caviar. Definitely 2-3 pts less without it.

At Kiawah. Right in its prime I’d think. Cassis nose. Tannins soft and somewhat muted, acidity remains strong. Fruit is mellow but ripe - black fruit dominant. Earthy. Medium finish.

What a pleasure. Silky, easy tannins. Dark ripe fruit, blackberry, black cherry and hints of blueberry in the finish. Nice medium + finish. Drinking perfectly now.
