Super dark jam on the nose. Initial ripe red fruit on the front with an oak and mild tar. Dry in the mouth then an explosion of fruit. Awesome bottle!!

2014 vintage. Mid-palate conundrum currently and waiting for it to resolve/head to respective corners. Medium body. Give it another 3-4 years. Usual V29 style evident at the start and finish but a bit of a blood clot in between. 06.11.25.

PnP. Dark red color with subtle brownish rims. Awesome nose with dust and minerality. Dark fruit on the palate with some cedar and earth. Medium depth and medium minus finish.

2018 vintage. Spicier than the straight, equally-priced, estate juice. Equally beautiful tho. Light-medium body. 10.18.23.

Magnum. Rustic cherry fruit and tannins. Not much depth and too thin for me. Not bad but not my style.
