@delectable this is not the reserve but a new wine called Black Aces and this is totally off the hook

GIII fruit made by V29 winemaker and this is incredible

Intoxicating smells - big inviting and lingers on

The color was amazing - what can I say but dark dark reddish purple and swirl in the glass you will see the film on the glass

Tasting is two fold - first is a sip to make sure the smell is confirmed but the 2nd is right after the initial approval - omg - damn near perfect - I think only 50 cases made so damn glad I got a few

The palette was dancing as I tried it and the finish was sooooooo loooooong - wow I counted 45 seconds

Bravo Jason, Tim Gleason and Cam Ward - 2016 will be your breakout year

Still smiling this morning

By the way it was great even without a long decent and I just know about 3-4 years of rest this baby might even score higher than my 9.7 which out of 900 wines I have posted I give this score or higher to only 3% of the wines which makes this is a remarkable new wine entry - to Greer fans - I think you will really like
