Bottle (6)

The Kallisti Collection, Part II, A Return to One of Our Most Iconic Modern Cellars: Every bottle in this offering has been professionally stored in a state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled Tribeca cellar.

"The 2008 reveals an opaque purple color in addition to blueberry and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with incense and violets. Barely approaching adolescence, it is still a grapy, primary, full-bodied beauty that will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring." (93 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Nov. 2013)

“(14.7% alcohol): Saturated medium ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, chocolate, menthol, herbs and truffle convey a suggestion of musky superripeness but also a faint green character. Then more harmonious in the mouth, offering thick yet lively flavors of dark berries and chocolate, with none of the overripe/underripe quality shown by the nose. Wonderfully pliant, broad, tactile wine with terrific richness and depth, but still in need of time to absorb its ripe, rather suave tannins. This wine was much tighter and more penetrating upon release but is softening nicely. Most impressive today on the very long, mounting finish.” (93 pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2018)
