Black as a starless night, big aromatic characteristic Alban nose. Scorched earth, tar, a little burnt rubber. And I mean that in the best way possible. Also notes of camphor and a touch of bacon fat. Black fruit parade. Texture is pure velvet. Super rich, super concentrated, endless finish. John Alban at his best. A toast and a birthday shoutout to my friend @Bill Bender . And many more my friend. — 9 years ago
Very full body, great fruit and well balanced... Super Bowl #50 — 9 years ago

#50 in the top 100 Wine Spectator list for 2017. These guys always over perform, especially for the price. 100% Touriga Nacional, which is one of the main varietals used to make port. $20, not complex, but very well put together. Dark plum and raspberry fruit, dried dates, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, and silk smooth tannins. — 7 years ago
