  Still needs more cellar time, but the fruit underneath the tannins is all there and wonderfully ripe and concentrated. This will be awesome in coming years.

  Opening nose is alluring and rich with dark cherry and hints at more to come. Palate is a striking cherry note that feels immediately identifiable as BV (and can be noted in their base Napa cab as well), alongside cedar and baking spice. Decanted and with air nose gets a bit of umami character - mushroom, soy sauce, moss. With air the palate evolves to a generous mix of cedar, cherry, and sweet tobacco. Drinking very well, enjoyed this more than the previous bottle last year.

  Blind tasting: Bordeaux vs CA vs WA
  
  Came in Third of three
  
  1 hour open
  
  Nose is rich, dark, slightly high toned, floral violet notes, acetone notes.
  
  Palate starts rich but goes off the tart end quite a bit. Maybe this bottle is off.
  Finishes a little tart and dry.

  Received as a gift, coravin'd a glass 2 separate evenings before pulling the cork tonight. Raspberries, fig jam and barrique on the nose.
  
  While the tannins aren't as evident as the first time I cv'd a glass, the wine itself is well balanced and an easy quaff. This is a solid high-production wine thats reasonable by Napa standards.
