  • Bram and I were blown away by this when we tasted it last month. For the first time, we appear to have figured out how to get some complexity and fragrance out of this sucker. Focused, peppery, deep berry nose, and a nice ride that fires all through to the finish. And man, make sure you’ve got a toothbrush handy!
