First vintage post-RPM, immensely enjoyable ten years on. As in Beaujolais, this CA interpretation is losing its original energy over time, but maintains its own signature profile. — 5 months ago

This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — 10 days ago

A deep purple Malbec with juicy tannins. Aromas of fresh fruits and herbs laced with spice. Would do well if aged longer, however, I enjoyed it. — 4 years ago

Очень нежный аромат пороха, вулканические почвы чувствуются сразу, но очень нежно.
Во вкусе немного мяса, сырокопченая колбаса, кислотность высокая, по характеру похоже на что-то квашеное, есть пикантность. Очень минеральное, много пороха. Кислотность цитрусовая, строгая. Вино в целом очень аскетичное, как натянутая струна. Диапазон вкуса со временем не меняется.
Вино будет питься долго, а не одним глотком.

Выпил бы бутылку один, но лучше разделить с кем-то (боюсь только с Самвелом). — 5 years ago

1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A striking still dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: Intoxicating notes of stewed dark fruit, floral, potting soil, cinnamon, mint, coffee grounds. Taste: silky, balanced, savory, creamy, juicy wine with dried blackberry, currants, dark chocolate, earth, mocha, crushed stone, and a peppery graphite long finish. YUM! Somewhere in its peaked drinking window so drink em if you got em. Unfortunately, my last bottle. — 24 days ago

Just bought at Costco Santa Cruz $99.99 listed 40 to 50 $ more at other sites. WS # 6 for 2025 I’m sorry can’t give a real rating too early to drink. Will come back in 5 to 10 years. Have watched some YouTube tasters and they 🥰 — 9 months ago
