Explosive bouquet of raspberry jam, cassis, potpourri, oak spice and sandalwood. Quite resolved structurally, maybe slightly thin on the palate but very nice bottle

Dec 25th, 2022Beautiful classically styled Bdx blend, in a great place with some nice secondary stuff seeping in. Nose has black cherry, cassis, wet leaves, tea; tannins are smooth, palate has sweet red and black fruit with earthy and floral elements on the back

Feb 24th, 2013About 30 min to open up. Earth and herbal notes, blue fruits. Silky, lightweight for a Napa red, minerality and some acid for balance. My style!

Jan 16th, 2015Matthiasson 2008 NV Red Wine. We had it with a braised brisket of beef. The wine is luscious-- well balanced. Still very full-bodied without a bit of harshness. It's excellent now but would be even better with more time.

Nov 4th, 2014About 80$ a bottle from a wine shop. It is very tasty, slight hint of fruits, thereby not too sweet. Very complex layer of taste, perfect blend of boldness (not super strong) and mild fruit flavor. Would definitely have another bottle and recommend people to try it.

Jun 29th, 2014Nice right bank style Bordeaux blend. Cherries, chocolate, cedar and bright acidity. Pretty wine that can hold its own with many respected right bank Bordeauxs in a blind tasting
