Decanted 2 hours. Like a big bouquet of roses. Refined elegant tannic structure. Love it!

Warm cherry with cinnamon, tobacco leaf, licorice root extract, smoke, pine nettle, cocoa, pipe tobacco, dark violets, rose petal. Medium mouthfeel shows the tar and black cherry heart and expressive blood orange, cinnamon, dried cranberry, expansive black currant and smoldering earth. Holiday spices. A tremendous offering!

This was dynamite and fun. Big 3L, shared amongst friends all weekend each nite after a day of drinking razor acids white at FLX. Dried fruits, extremely floral, black tea, leather, sweet/sour cherries, sandalwood, dried leaves..tannins smooth but clearly there and high acid to wash it away. Changed every nite..delicious!

I remember having this last year with @Bill Bender out of a mag and was blown away. While this 08 is on the young side the future will only make this wine better.

From 3L with a river walk view. This unraveled and shed tannin as the night progressed. Reluctant fresh cut violets and crushed rock bouquet, bright cherry tobacco, fig newton and boysenberry palette, velvety smooth and compact bold mid palate and by night’s end an especially long compelling finish. This is likely ready on pop from 750 but has 10-15 years plus of prime drinking window.

Another stunning. This has some dark chocolate, menthol, and Eben floral notes that makes this super interesting. Dark fruited but not heavy — tannins are integrated perfectly

Amazing fusion of delicacy and power. Floral aromas, long-developing fruit core.
