Muscular, dark, fab

2005 vintage

The Sex Machine! And it lived up to every bit of that nickname. #ballerjuice #bastilleday #thegirlandthefig

2010 - deep spices, roasted meat, rocky minerality, cassis. Very elegant and polished. Long finish.

2012. Very much a baby but teetering on perfection!

For me, wine falls into four categories: wine to bring to a party, wine to have with friends and business associates, wine to intimately share with a lover, and wine I choose to be selfish with. This is the latter.

The color still looks good on this one but I’d like a bit more punch. It’s a bit on the soft side. Not over the edge but these need to be drunk.
