2009 vintage. Inky. The nose is exotic.... Licorice, eucalyptus, cassis, vanilla, black pepper, and cherry liquor. Black sour cherries meet charcoal and vanilla on the delineated palette. The driving finish shows layer upon layer as this young wine opens up. Will be great in 5 years.

Big bold nose; all barrel character, like coffee and toast. Big red berry, too. Silky palate, red currant liqueur, but pulls up on finish, getting tight. Long, but needs resolution on finish. Gonna be great.

Opulent. Young, tight and complex. An elegant nose of black and blue fruits, roasted herbs, a smidge of eucalyptus. Medium to full bodied, the finish sails on in bursts of fruit with silky and supple tannins. Well balanced for its size. 18 months in bottle, 18 months in new french oak

Sep 6th, 2013Dark red color rich in tanines yet smoth with red and black berries notes, rounded taste in your mouth and and a long lasting roasted flavor.
