  January 14, 2024 - revisited this same wine a few weeks later (unblinded). there's too much sweet vanilla/coconut oak -- so i'll downgrade my score a bit

  January 1, 2024 - (tasted blind) Plush vanilla oak and dark black fruit aromas. Pyrazine and a little fall leaves character. Rich blackberry compote flavors on the palate. Some aromas got me thinking this could be old world, but ultimately the richness of the fruit gave it away as Napa.

  January 1, 2024 - Tasted blind. Mint, mint, mint on nose. Soaked rum raisin, vanilla, pyrizine, sweet black fruit, damp forest floor sous bois. On palate, loads of juicy concentrated blackberry and sweet summer blueberries. Knew it to be Cab sauvignon, but because of the mint I placed it in Australia vs Chile. This is a decidedly New World style with tons of oak -- but it is all comes together with elegance. Would be delicious with some prime rib.

  May 21, 2022 - Soft with a bite opened up wonderfully notes of cherry and ripe soft fruits. Strong legs in glass dark but not overly dark colouring..some tannins but not harsh slight pencil lead on finish. Had with filet went wonderfully well with food and on its own..sadly the only bottle I had.
