2012 vintage. Quite structured, considering its age and price. Dark blackberry, black plum, cassis, dark chocolate, laurel, marjoram, clove, graphite, cedar. Lots of spice and firm tannins make for a burly expression of Merlot. — 7 years ago

"Jammy and thick in plummy richness, this wine offers a robust concentration of dark chocolate, dust and oak, with a full-bodied ripeness that finishes in baking spice and vanilla"

From vines planted in 1896. Amazingly youthful color and aroma. Red fruit, spice and earth in beautiful harmony. This is the kind of thing that really gets my rocks off. — 7 years ago

Last bottle of vintage. 48/29/23 blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane. Inky dense purple, highly extracted. Whiff of rotten egg initially, dark cherry notes emerges later. Cola flavor with mint with length, chewy tannins in finish, light skin astringency. Needs time to open. Later black plum flavor emerges. Overall, soft, good old style Italo-California red. — 7 years ago
