Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 1 note)

Opaque ruby. Brooding, pungent red and dark berry aromas are complicated by cured tobacco, sandalwood and Indian spices. Broad and rich, with deep blackcurrant and cherry compote flavors and a firm structure that makes itself apparent with aeration. The grenache is in the background today, and the wine finishes with serious grip and sneaky persistence. I'd give this some cellar time.

2011-2015. firm and bright, with blackberry, floral and white pepper notes with a lively finish gainst fine tannins.

WA 93+
