This raised its mane out of the throng of 40+ wines jockeying for position and demanded respect. Intense fruit dressed in a silk robe. Black currant and pipe tobacco linger through an extended powerful finish. Much obliged @Mark Turner

May 19th, 2019Passover wine-me thinks a few tics past it’s prime, with the mid palate shallow, though a gorgeous nose, the oak burnished. It’s elegant black cassis but faded. Magnum. Double decanted.

Apr 23rd, 2017Amazing blue and black fruit, rounded tannins with a 60 second finish. This magnum was decanted for an hour and continues to get better with air.
