Tansal
Textured and intriguing wine with a deep, brooding character. Its youthful age still allows it to retain a sense of vitality, with flavors of blackberry, plum leather, and cassis emerging. The licorice and anise touches add depth, even as the tannins provide a gripping presence. The potential for cellaring is immense, suggesting a long-term investment in this wine.
Dizzy
A masterful blend of precision and nuance, 97 is a tour de force that elevates its pairing to new heights. Its perfect condition is a testament to its superb quality, and it pairs exquisitely with the voluptuous flavors of Australian wagyu. A light yet defined structure is evident in its blend of French and American oak, which adds body and complexity to the ultimately experience. A gentle decant is recommended, as it will be deeply missed but cherished. The bouquet is a voluptuous tapestry of dense fruit, chocolate, and spices, with a undertone of earthy undertones. The trail is long and satisfying, with a smooth, silky touch that hangs on the palate. A true gem, 97 is a wine that will be returned to again and again.
Beurre Shafrik
Hearty and rich nose with a rich, bold fruit and chocolate character, accompanied by a savory leather note. The palate is generously filled with a variety of fruit, containing big, juicy segments, with a full-bodied mouthfeel. The conclusion is long and satisfying, with a lingering quality that will only improve with age. A worthwhile investment for those willing to hold onto it for a few years.
