Drank with Christmas dinner, with honey baked ham, with brown sugar sweet potatoes. Too fruit forward for me. Overwhelms the other flavors a little. Might be too young. — 5 days ago

Improved over previous tasting 3 years ago.

Double decant and pour. A light cloudy gold color. On the nose: mellow notes of Lemon, tangerine, banana, nutmeg, grapefruit. Taste: A chalky-creamy, rich mouthfeel wine with pear, lemon rind, little stone fruit, white pepper, oak, and a tropical minerally wet stone medium plus finish. — 12 days ago

Intense cherry with a touch of tar. Iron and dense but very pure fruit. Good stuff but still tight and unyielding — 4 days ago

Dark cherry bingo.

If you haven’t had a 10-15 year in bottle WS, you have missed special.

Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎁 ❄️ ⛄️ — 7 days ago

Baking spices out the gate. Cinnamon. Sour cherry jam. Fresh rain soaked soil in the back. Maybe I should have decanted it but I’m getting a fair bit of heat. Granted after pregnancy and newfound mom life I’m very out of practice. Maybe some strawberry jam. On the palate we have a medium light body juicy, bright red fruit and spice at the end. Slightly sticky tannins. Nice way to celebrate the holidays. An affordable splurge to pair with a cheese board or a lean cut of beef like a fillet. Beef Wellington would be perfect. I festive pork roast would also go well. — 2 days ago
