2009 vintage. From old vines in Coombsville. Spectacular nose, truffle galore with underlying blackberries and amazing freshness! Juicy and smooth, with depth and serious velvety tannic backbone, long finish with retronasal truffle. Excellent value at 30 euro.

Outstanding. First bottle was flawed. This is much more what I expected. Edit day 2: snuck a half bottle in the fridge and this went to 96 pts. Drinks like a mineral-driven Bordeaux with some really pretty fruit. Beautiful. Damn.

Big wine. Kinda cooked. Disjointed. Maybe bad bottle or bad storage. Edit - 2nd bottle confirmed this one was flawed.

Lovely, lovely wine from @Jonathan Maltus Brilliant example of Napa Valley Merlot at a delightful price point. Oh, and even after having it last night, I can still feel the finish riding off into the sunset. Love having the Coombsville version of a Saint Emilion structured red. Bravo!
