Popped and poured into a decanter about 90min prior to service. The 2013 Eclipse pours a deep ruby with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with faint staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with red and black brambles, leather, black pepper and other spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and hard to hate on. Yes, it is an enormous wine and yet, somehow balanced at 16%. To this day, the wines from Noon remain elusive. Drink now through 2028.

Needed about two hours in a decanter but once it opened up rich and decadent.

It’s an enjoyable blend with nice balance and intensity. It carries the 16% alcohol pretty well, but still finishes a little hot.

Delicious. Medium bodied with a muted nose of soft red and black fruit then a bright palate with raspberry, plum, dusty cocoa and white pepper. A little alcohol warmth on the finish but it’s not distracting (particularly on this winter evening). Persistent acid and tannins that promise a long future ahead.
