Dark fruit, mint and cocoa. Structured and elegant.

$135? Wow that's expensive.
This really really wishes it was Boudreaux, it's not. Still made with same amount of love.

Decanted and it helped open up this initially tight wine. Notes of blackberry initially with a dried herd finish.

Wow. Nothing subtle. A big Cali blend. But very nice and decent balance. Powerful robusta style. Not syrupy. Chocolate, tobacco, ripe cherry. Not my usual preference but it’s thanksgiving and I like it! Don’t think I would buy this for myself (it was a gift).

Loved this wine. Great backbone with blue and dark fruit that lasted awhile. Drank over 3 hours.

Mystery meat selection. This is quite nice but definitely not worth list price.

Bold, full bodied, smooth. Blackberries and plums, vanilla and tobacco. Excellent wine!

It’s hard to understand why one would spend this amount of money on a bottle of wine until you properly decant and glass this excellent wine, and then, and then it all makes sense.
