4.0 Stars
Deep burgundy color. Nearly opaque
Smelled of blackberries with an oak undertone.
Sweet, extremely smooth and balanced. Long luxurious finish. Concentrated fruit.
I tried the Orin Swift Papillon back in August with my sister and her fiancé. It was extremely good, probably one of the best wines I had tried all year. The Prisoner is the wine that brought Orin Swift acclaim, so I really wanted to try it for myself. It did not disappoint! Now I need to try the Mercury Head!
