Candied blackberries and cherries on the nose with spices and licorice; fragrant and juicy candied black fruits with spices, a bit of smoke and earth on the palate. Nice rounded tannins and mouthfeel. Juicy but not viscous.

Dense, dark and super concentrated. Very young and in need of further cellaring. Impressive.

Getting to a great point, though still demands decanting. 80/20 Tinto Fino/Cab Sauv with a ton of charred tobacco/thyme giving the blend away.

Deep and round. Longest of wines. It's perfect and mature at this stage of its life. Aromas like tacos or a perfect chuck. Perfect steak wine. Curiously still tannic. Delicious.

Precision balance. Hint of sweet stewed fruits, perfect with braised lamb.

A delicious '89 for my friend on her 25th! Fragrant nose of dark cherries, licorice and floral notes. A full bodied, amazingly textured and elegant wine with impeccable concentration. Spice, burnt oak, black currant, cedar and earth. Such a fresh, vivacious 20 something.

Amazing depth in nose! Bright color, no sign of age. Mouth-filing wine with fine tannin and great finish! Baby.
