2011. Complex nose. Deeply pitched ripe dark berry fruit, wood smoke and piercing rock dust notes. Sledgehammer powerful in the mouth. Almost overwhelming rich dry extract coats the mouth. Huge body. Finish is very long with pure dark berry notes and dark minerals competing to see who quits first. Great wine. But you have to pick your moments for this one.

Instant gratification. A powerhouse of a wine, just plummy and cocoa-ey enough, without being blowsy and overextracted.

2011. Yellow in the glass and at nose. Pedro Ximenez and Macabeo. Good and long, nice sweet licorice in final.

Quite delicious. Big and bold without being obnoxious.

Maroon fuschia hues. Ripe strawberry from Baguio. Hint of black tea. Mild acidity. Well balanced!

Amazing! Very complex. Different smell and taste w each sip. Only wanted to keep smelling it b/c if I drank it, then it'd be gone!
