Tasting Note:April 15, 2017

Insanely dark purplish ruby red. Nose is coated in dark raspberries, tobacco, oak, and dark spices. Heavy oaky tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Needed to be opened for at least a couple hours. Palate is layered with tons of dark black and red fruits, cinnamon, vanilla, woody tannins and dark spices. Excellent structure and an insanely long finish. Still just a baby.


Made of 84% Cabrenet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in around 85% new French oak. Only 1,021 cases produced.

Drink Dates:

2017 till 2038.

Tasting Note:August 10, 2016

Darker than the 2012, deep ruby red with a purple core. Layered nose with high intensity. Attack of blueberries with a savory almost roasted meat finish to the nose. Silky yet firm heavy tannins (8/10) with a full body. Balanced palate with dark cocoa, blue and black fruits, and espresso beans. Long finish. Cannot wait to see where this goes with actual bottle age.
