Popped the cork on this last night and this evening, wow! A full day open really served this beaut well. Soaring nose of violets, dark fruit, just lit cigar, and a hint of graphite. Tastes of dark red/blue fruits, silky tannin, and a nice frame of acidity. A bit more complexity on the palate and this would be a few ticks more for me perhaps. But still, bravo. Glad to have more.

Jul 8th, 2015Solid fruit and solid structure.. Lovely nose of cassis, anise, and blueberry.. Full mouthfeel but not over the top, just a smooth cab.. Very nice introduction to Owen Roe.. I'll definitely be revisiting them soon.
