Heady and rich, but with a beautiful freshness that catapults the gorgeous dark fruit across the palate and then pauses in the perfect place, saturating and gushing with black and red berry flavors.…
When I initially tried this upon arrival, it seemed fairly sound (it had been decanted for a couple of hours); a little lush and gush on entry (especially compared to more honed versions of Tychson…
Great fruit concentration, with black cherry, earth/soil, bitter chocolate chunk, and spice leading the flavor cavalry. The back end is yummy and slightly ravenous, with a filling/decently deep…
My note from last year applies in terms of this wine's specific characteristics and flavor profile, though I will say the performance this time around was absolutely beautiful on day one (a healthy…
Day one under Coravin for this wine made for an angular and a bit boozy showing, with a mechanical delivery that was fairly foursquare from front to back. The fruit wasn't as expressive as I usually…
Smooth and silky, with a fully amalgamated profile that allows beautiful black cherry, currant, earth, and subtle spice notes to flow along the palate with Sinatra-esque light baritone crooning…

Plum, black cherry, and the sweat of a Vegas nightclubber, the 2014 Cariad offers a little rave succulence and opulence with a little parental shoulder angel sternness. More former than the latter,…
Red and black fruits present as ripe and succulently semi-sweet at the onset. The first sip is kinda like gulping a bowl of the rainbow milk left in the bowl after you just wolf down a solid helping…
Saturating, juicy, delectable, and all the superlatives you can conjure up to describe what is indeed the most giving of the bunch. Heightened complexity is temporarily on hold during the initial…
Compared to wine before it in the lineup (which was a red-"fruited" [mostly tannic] Abreu Thorevilos), this was all about black fruit, bitter chocolate, and black minerality. Did I mention black?…
Juicy and rich, with black fruit dominating the profile, the Colgin Tychson was quite the giving specimen. I suspected it might be a Colgin, but went with believing it was the M7 (erroneous as that…
Ok, so it has now gotten to the point where it infuriates me every time I have a Colgin. I mean, does every bottle always have to stomp on everything else around it due to its supreme awesomeness?!…
