BB | Garnet to pink. Complex, earthy, meaty, violets, dried roses, red cherries nose. Balanced, lively palate with sweet black and red fruits and long, salty finish.Drink Dates: 2026 - 2035. 95
AJ | Dark black-red though fully translucent and glowing. Serene, harmonious, creamy, very mellow and melted -- but gorgeous, beckoning, and built on a core of tenderly warm fruits. Super nose, not showy, just there, just giving what you want. Fresh root and zest, too, behind all the warm appeal. On the palate, this is a fine, close-textured, sweetly concentrated wine with admirably perfume and lift. An outstanding, lyrical and inspiring effort: perfect, cusp-picked fruit; impeccable vinification and elevage; a wine of great grace and beauty; and long, too, if anything growing with refinement as it lingers. Bravo!Drink Dates: 2026 - 2040. 97
MP | The nose shows very ripe fruit with cooked plum, black cherry, raisin, thyme, and wild strawberry. The palate is linear, ripe, and gently balanced between fruit and tannins with acidity supporting the finish. This is a delicious wine but the competition is stiff!Drink Dates: 2025 - 2030. 92
