9.2

Not yet released-polished, Christmas spice and candied cherry nose. Laced with sweet blueberry and light toast. Sensual wine at outset but tannins build. Restrained now, but expect it to sharpen and broaden in the next 6 months — 5 years ago

9.2

Medium color, smoky, peppermint, cranberry aroma, small sweet notes aromatically. Round, soft edged wine on entry, acids build with tannins tightening in mid pallet then carry and carry, no sharpness, brisk but balanced for so young-needs some time but could be something special — 5 years ago

2016 medium dark color. Barn yard, leather spices, rustic but slightly sweet aromas of mountain blackberry. Great chalky, coating mouthfeel. Some saltiness, seashell flavors. Tannins fly in them sweeten. Great now maybe 12 more months — 5 years ago

9.3

Medium dark, dark color. A subtle aroma of orange zest and poupouri, Indian spice, dried mango, cranberry and tobacco smoke. Still shy but opening up on 2nd glass. Immediate crushed pomegranate and snappy boysenberry, medium finish, good tension with lingering cloves and small chalky notes-super elegant rounded edges. 2022-2026. Good future ahead — 5 years ago

Dark color-hay, oats and sweet artificial blueberry aromas. Really lovely aromas. Sweet dough, bread pudding, stones, vanilla tobacco. Nice flavors, towards more sweet fruit then a pop of small gamey flavors. Flavors come and go with light grip refreshing, not sweet nor dried. Very nice wine 92 points — 6 years ago
