November 13, 2016 - Wildly underrated on this site. Concentrated fig, blackberry, some smoke. I disagree strongly with those crying overoaked here. Rich cab (looks like they changed the blend in subsequent years) with integrated tannins and a long finish. In a prime drinking window

October 30, 2016 - Tasted blind. Younger nose, tons of oak, EtOH, and sugar. Kind of obnoxious. Chaotic and soapy. There seems to be some good dense fruit underneath, but the high alcohol ruins it. Bad showing?

October 29, 2016 - Overwhelming oak. Alcohol is high. Quality fruit is evident mid palette but discombobulated. Needs 5-10 years to integrate.
