Dark dirty on the nose clean and pure on the nose soft rolling tannins. Soft cherries and raspberries. Balanced perfectly

(Kool-Aid voice) ohhhhh yeaaaaaa. Celebrating making the Wilson Daniels list with a future producer offering. Strong and yet delicate tannins. One of my fav vineyards.

Takes awhile to gain complexity but give it an hour and it's brilliant.

Good, but it had some drying tannins from the wood.

This was good. As the evening progressed, a woody note appeared on the finish.

Over the top . Fleshy and full and a perfect pair with game or veal in my case. Vibrant fruits . 2013 vintage

Pretty nose, exotic spices, violets, toastiness, grass (never thought I'd say this in a red wine. Maybe freshness?) sour cherries once again, hint of blueberries, dried hay and tea leaves. Regal! I would have guessed Vosne Romanee because of the spices. Dry finish and solid acidity. My first Oliver Bernstein and while the verdict is out, I think his wines need a lot of time or slow ox for 8-9 hours. A very different wine from the rest, but I quite enjoyed this.

Still a baby... But showing potential already. Primarily fruit, plum, but gets a bit smoky with hint of wood chips after 2 hours. Great concentration and last super long
