This has remained steadfast since purchase. I advised @Dawn E. back in 2021 to consume her 18’s, but in this case, I was wide of the mark. Very impressive and enjoyable. Flamboyant nose of cassis, with a bold tannic structure on the mid palate. Finishes long and racy. No signs of aging and zero rush to consume. — 14 days ago

Softened, earthy spices with a velvety mouth feel. Tannins notable, yet not overpowering. A beautiful complement to panko encrusted lamb with anchovy butter. — 9 months ago

Black berry aroma and taste. Smooth tannins and mild acidity. Just a tad tart on the finish. — 2 years ago

Nose of raisins and licorice. First sip was too oaky for me, but I hate tasting any oak. With food , much nicer. Nice rounded fruit, mouthfeel. With a buzz, even better! Score keeps going up. Blend is 58% carignane, 23 Grenache, 15 Syrah, and 4 petite sirah. — 3 years ago

A 25 year old gem pulled by Joel Peterson himself. I was one of the lucky ones to snag a mixed case of his cellar selections from 1991-2013 for BD16. Still going strong with such incredibile fruit. Gonna share them of course but sneak a Coravin taste here and there … — 3 months ago

Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, floral herbs and mineral spice. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with notes of tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb and a savory earthy character. Nice! — 7 months ago
