February 27, 2024 - Dark purple/ black Black cherry, sour cherry, cassis, fresh cut oak on the nose Black cherry, red currant, licorice, beautifully smooth Strong acidity, fine-grained tannins, dry, complex thoroughly enjoyable
September 23, 2023 - Heitz Cellar - Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Beautiful deep purple color
Raspberries, smoke, vanilla, currant on the nose
On the palate, cherries, chocolate, black tea
Heavy acidity and strong tannins, smooth full-bodied wine
Complex wine with a long finish. A lot of the complexity comes on the finish.
April 9, 2023 - Good wine, but still lots of tannins. Needs more time (~5 years). Nose had pencil shavings and some licorice. Main body was fruit with strong tannins. Wait.

February 7, 2023 - Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): Even more classic styling than the 2017. I get more of the mint/eucalyptus here. A hint of floral. Black fruits. Generally all very soft. Tannin barely there. Very pretty wine.
November 17, 2022 - Solbær, cola på nesen, syrlig, eucalyptus, sødme. God lengde og fylde.
October 22, 2022 - NY Wine Experience 2022; 10/20/2022-10/23/2022 (Marriott Marquis): Just a beautiful wine even if it is quite young. Lovely eucalyptus, darker fruits, great balance. Hints of vanilla bean. It drinks well and is honestly just tasty.
