Christmas night wine out of a magnum! Laser-fine tannins and delicate dark berry fruit flavors. Just a beautiful wine and epic after an hour so of breathing. Treat yo’self!

Sheer brilliance in a glass. A gift from either Martin or David. Absolutely stunning presentation. Great showing on the front and mid palate. Nice fine-grained tannins help present what is a suave package. Finish just sails on. Thank you so much, guys!

Spectacular, really smooth and opulent for a ‘15 with layer after layer of character and complexity

Deep dark only core with a Ruby rim. Copious notes of mocha, blackberry and tobacco. Quite extracted, the mouth is full and intense; black and blue fruit, smoked meat and black pepper ride an integrated and balanced acidity. The finish is long with sweet, fine grained tannins.

Drinking incredibly well. The tannins are sweet, and balanced by a soft acidity. loads of dark blue fruits and vanilla on the palate mix with tobacco, coffee and chocolate.

Nice wine. It came to the party wearing a backpack, glasses and a hat with a mosquito net.

This possibly could be something special with a little time?

Super dark and concentrated in the glass. Notes of cassis, gravel and cedar dominate the nose. On the palate strong flavors of blackberry and currants fill your mouth with a rich, silky texture...a touch savory in the background. Soft(ish) tannins and low to medium acidity. Long finish. This is a really nice wine.

Big muscular
Will be great but young
Tannins need to soften and everything needs to calm a bit
Hold; good now better later
