Dark brooding color, opaque with lighter rims. Tight nose, hard to get a read. Notes of red fruit and raspberries, kirsch, cola and some ash comes on later. Nicely made juice, it’s well balanced. While it opened up some over the night, it was tough to get a read on this. I could only come up with mid 90s Napa Cab. Still, this is a wine lover’s wine and our ribeyes went well with this and the other bottles tonight. — 2 years ago
From mag. Very intense in the nose. Violets, dark plum, stone grippy sour cherry and underneath some iron and iodine. Very good. Super young now, but a serious wine with a lot of upside — 2 years ago
Good Lord. This is such special stuff. Still lots of time - a decade perhaps. Endlessly fascinating, decadent mouthfeel. — 3 years ago

Roasted strawberries, blueberries, red candy, cedar and some gunpowder. Finally mellowing from its youthful excess. — 2 years ago
