Deep ruby coloration. No translucency. On the nose, minerality, sweet tobacco, anise, and blackberry. On the palate, strong minerality, jammy dark berry and anise, full bodied, long finish. Tannins are still strong but balanced. — 4 months ago
Medium deep ruby with garnet rim . Freshly cut herbs like sage and rosemary with cedar , plum and dark cherry , liquorice . On the palate quite dense but with fresh acidity and firm slightly dry tannins . More of the plum and dark spiced cherry , blackberry, herbal and liquorice touches on the reasonable length finish . Drinking well now though will continue to show well over the next 5 years . Slightly under the radar with good personality and surprising freshness . — 6 months ago
From Haskell’s box. Our first red Bordeaux, from Cadillac AOC Bordeaux region, which is right bank. Website says 60% Merlot 20% cab 20% Franc. Seemed a bit thin vs New World Cabs, but had softened tannins, dark fruit, early tawny color. will compare to other Merlots and to left bank claret later. D liked. W said ok. — 3 months ago

Nicholas picked this up in Sicily while he was there at the NEX. Probably paid about $50 for the bottle there. Would run about $90 in the United States. Excellent red wine from Sicily!  — 3 days ago
