Serious and well made, easy drinking despite the complexity, length and concentration. Ripe cherries and notes of coffee, cocoa and tobacco

Truly drinks just like a baby Vega.
Huge quality for its $85 price point.

Either modern old-school or vintage-styled new wave, either way irresistible.

2009 Vintage. Crushed rocks, anise, cherries, tar, and cured meat dominate the nose. Black cherry, eucalyptus, and balsamic, are the leading flavors of this wine. The wine is gritty, opened for 8 hours and still has real grip. This will do well in the cellar for another 5 years.
