Unique experience. Far more exuberant than what the vintage would suggest, it jumped out of the glass with a bouquet I would not normally associate with wine. He gave me a strong reminder of men’s cologne “eau de lierre” (it jumped right out because I used to wear it.) which, according to the manufacturer means galbanum, cyclamene and rosewood. Hidden behind the solemn wood and dark flowers there’s a green core of fresh pyrazenes that lifts up the darkness on the palate and gives way to a lingering acidity  — 2 months ago

Never heard of this winery but wow. Impressed with this Syrah. Nice pepper and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Lovely. — 5 years ago

Delicious! Shows more Walla Walla character than Sangiovese character, though. Fair amount of new oak on the nose with ripe, juicy blackberry fruit. In the mouth the savory, fire pit, stony aromas are lovely. Long finish. — 6 years ago

Unbelievable!
Reminds me of Don Maximiano, but much better.

Solid solemn nose, slightly acidic with deep notes.
Excellent pairing with the succulent Argentinian grill. Perfecto! — 8 years ago

Quite deep ruby , pink ruby rim . Quite tight and mineral , meaty note on the nose . Slightly green perhaps but with mineral , darker fruit , blackcurrant , kirsch , dark cherry. A little closed and solemn . A little woody on the palate first, with iris and dark cherry, cassis and blackberry notes . Quite firm tannins , bright acidity , medium length . This probably needs more time but is quite a difficult wine at present , serious and aloof , quite Bonnes Mares I suppose . Can be drunk now but would benefit from another 3-4 years and will last well a further 5-10. — 4 months ago

So-five years in, the cherry pop has worn off & it’s a more solemn, damp earth, dark red fruits affair: tertiary flavors. I have to say In not crazy about drinking cru Beaujolais w age as it seems to defeat the purpose of Beaujolais— the vibrancy & bounce in the palate has moved on. That said, will keep trying. — 5 years ago

Its # 5. A mix of 3 different Bourbons, a 13-year mahogany bourbon, un-apologetically peppery with shavings of dark chocolate. Two, an 11-year silky, wheated bourbon rich with vanilla and honey. And three, an 8-year find, finished in Caribbean rum barrels to impart orange, brown sugar and warm island spice. Every sip, an uncharted, sensory adventure. Blood Oath Pact 5 adds additional flavors with the Carribean Rum Cask Finish." — 5 years ago

2014 Voir Dire. n. an oath taken by jurors to tell the truth. Crisp & clean. Hints of light tobacco and soft corinthian leather with a light fruit finish. Smooth and silky. Great with a hearty meal of slow cooked pot roast and earthy mushroom rice. 👍🏼 — 6 years ago
