April 20, 2024 - This wine remains a fruit forward wine in the best sense that term. Despite the age, the fruit remains front and center with dark fruit, plum, pomegranate licorice, pepper, tobo wrapper leaf, aromas of tobo box with smoke, leaf and cedar, brambles, and, a very distinct finish of coffee. The lengthy, complex finish lingers very long. Between this and the ’06 Hardscrabble, there is no clear winner. Both wines shine. But if pushed for a personal favorite, the nod goes ever so slightly to the Hardscrabble. But, but, the finish and complexity of this wine makes me hesitate to even go that far. A blend of 43% Petit Verdot, 29% Cabernet Franc and 28% Merlot. 13.2% alc. With (beef) bone-in ribeyes from Yellow Umbrella. 04.20.24. Highly Recommended.
