8/13/2019 - joraesque wrote: 91 pointsDrinking very well, akin to a polished Washington Cab. in a feminine style. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot. It drank well for 3 hours. 14.5% ABV and seamlessly integrated. |

8/11/2019 - joraesque wrote: 90 pointsUpon opening this exhibited such strong notes of damp wood and cardboard that I thought it was corked! Fortunately those blew off within 10 minutes, revealing a round, medium-full bodied wine that's more quaffable than food friendly, and not complex at all. Fairly fine with aeration on its own thus. 15% ABV, well integrated. |

8/3/2019 - joraesque wrote: 91 pointsComing into its own. Drank well from the get-go, though it was perhaps even better one hour in -- nevertheless, it didn't change much over a 4-hour period. Extremely versatile with most spices. 16% ABV and seamless. |

7/26/2019 - joraesque wrote: 91 pointsThe nose finally started emerging after 3 hours. A big wine that's more reminiscent of mountain Carbenet. Surprisingly versatile with food (fiber and protein-rich dishes). Wait till 2022 if you can. |
