Drinking very well, with dark red fruit, herbs, and elegant wood tones. Taut at the core with nicely softening edges. Still really only secondary at this point, and seems it could provide plenty more interest after several years.
This was a bit of a disappointment. I’ve had revelatory aged Cabernets from them before, but this one didn’t hold up. The primary fruit is fading, and it honestly just has nothing to show for tertiary notes. It’s not bad, just not particularly special. Drink it up, with food, don’t look back.

Tasty, although not as sublime as some other library A/R cab I’ve had. Certainly very drinkable with good balance and integrated tannins, but maybe a little one note - sour cherries predominantly.

Better now, for sure. Open but not declining.

Good components - nice lush fruit, good acid and tannin- but didn’t seem to come together in a harmonious way
