Medium salmon color, copper edges with berry fruit and floral aromas. On the palate flavors of strawberries and cherries, some citrus and a fresh acidic character. Medium finish with berry fruit, citrus, floral and slight spice with nice mineral character. — 11 days ago

These just get so much better with this kind of age.

It had grand evolution & integration.

Elegant & ripe on entry. Dark cherries, plum, blackberry, baked strawberries, raspberry & hints of blueberries. Muddy clays, dry herbs, powdered dry earth times, light; caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanillin, withering dark, red flowers, some violets, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.

Deep Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of dark fruits, spice, floral and earthy notes, aged 13 months, somewhat evenly split between new, 1, 2 & 3 year old oak. On the palate flavors of wild blackberries and raspberry with smoky spice, vanilla and black pepper notes wrapped in lively acidity. Fine sweet tannins, long finish, great structure ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy tones. Drinks well now, will last a decade. — 3 days ago

This wine is really delightful. It has a nice softness and elegance to it. No overpowering oak. Smooth flavors that just complement the food.

In my cellar since release. Holding up with the age of it. A bit of smokiness but doesn’t seem like a bad thing. A bit of dark fruit coming through too. — 25 days ago
