Developing well. Black currants, dried violets and backing spices. Light in its feet from the cooler vintage with great nuance and incredible texture.

Every time I taste this wine, I am impressed. Predominantly cherry overtones, it is simply a wine to be cherished and is aging quite nicely.

This Reserve Claret is a special occasion wine. It is full bodied with a hint of baking spices. Has a nice and polished finish.

This cab is a fantastic jammy wine. It has hints of sage with vanilla finishes. The grapes taste so smooth on the palate, I could have with eggs in the morning.

Really distinctive nose. Very earthy. Super smooth for such a young wine. A wine definitely screaming for cellaring time.

Bursting with flavor and very smooth. Strawberries! This one is worth continuing to cellar if you have the patience!

This wine just keeps on giving. Nice full-body Bordeaux style blend with higher level of tannin. Nice long finish especially after decanting it. This is one special bottle. Tastes like a $100 bottle.
