From memory: This was delicious, showing excellent concentration and complexity. Really solid, red fruit and earth. Nice minerality and acid, drinking well right now.

Having loved my way thru a 6-pack of the regular '12s wherein every bottle was richer and more astonishing than the last, especially for $25 ea, was surprised by this Reserve last night. Expecting everything I loved about the regular plus more, I instead got less of everything except acidity of which it had too much (another surprise, considering the vintage). Eh.

Dark crimson in color, this wine reveals cranberry, red cherry and defined minerals on the nose. The mouth feel is quite silky with added elements of raspberry, clove and vanilla. The finish is well integrated with the fruit and acidity in good balance. 14.1% abv.
Purchased for $40US, this is a fuller bodied offering that lives up to its price tag. A winner.

Raspberry, blackberry, spice, good acidity and a 30+ second finish. Still tasting great in 2023!
