A Philippe Melka masterpiece. Nowhere near ready to drink but who cares? I enjoy watching this wine evolve over the time it's open. Layers of plum and dried fruit give way to Mocha and subtle vanilla. Burly tannins and a tad hot but I can't wait to drink it's friends for decades to come. @Steve Gage @Philippe Melka awesome!

This stood up very well to the bond st eden. It didn’t have the complexity or the intensity. It doesn’t have as much fruit as the bond but it’s very good. No complaints from me!

Great wine for a a mix, it has a smooth finish yet with a full of flavor but this is not butter.

2012-luscious, dark berry, cassis bouquet: nice legs; great body, long, slightly tannic finish; a great wine.
