Von Strasser Res 01'out of a mag. 45% CB 44% PV 11% Merlot. It was pretty much a pop & pour wine. My wife thought it was the WOTN. It was outstanding. Out of a mag it will drink for another 7/10 years.

Very consistent with bottles I've had a few months ago. This stuff is built like a tank- another 10+ years left. Nose of decaying earth and chocolate. Red fruits still very present with a spicy tobacco leaf finish that pulls your cheeks in.

Aging well and the tennis are finagling coming to heal but this is still a big wine even after 19 years of storage. It was worth the wait.

Jet black. Super balanced, fruit and tannin still very present. Tastes 1/2 it's age. Fantastic.

Loving this. Reminds me of Diamond Creek with less minerality. Dark dirty purple color, lots of funk on the nose. Raspberry purée, pencil lead, pinch of tannin. Killer finish. 40/37/23 Petit Verdot, Cab, Merlot. Unusual combo (for me anyway) but it's awesome!
