September 25, 2023 - Consumed over 2 days, stored in Somm du Vin, note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, deep ruby with slight edge browning. nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, sweet tobacco, saddle leather, and bell pepper - ringer aromas for a slightly aged cabernet. Palate: Clean, medium+ tannins are soft but persistent, medium acid, medium+ body, medium+ intensity, 14.5% abv with flavors of black cherry, earth, and bell pepper with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Outstanding
Length: Excellent
Intensity: Excellent
Complexity: Excellent
IMO this is about the best you could hope for with a 9 year old $50 Cali cabernet. It's a pure expression of the cabernet grape made in near perfect balance, love it. Drinking superbly at the moment and will likely do so for another 2-3 years if well cellared. -

July 22, 2023 - Huge alcohol and tannins. Good red fruit out front, but that is quickly overwhelmed by a very fresh and long eucalyptus finish. Occasionally the cherry comes back at the very end of the finish. A big wine fit for a good steak. If you value a well-balanced, traditional Bourdeaux Wine, with moderate alcohol and tannins, this one is not for you.

December 28, 2021 - Drinking well now but I think it can go a couple more years in the cellar, I will put my second bottle back in the cellar.

December 26, 2019 - Opened an hour before drinking. Needed very little encouragement once poured in the glass! Great with food or just by itself. Tannins a bit lively, but overall very drinkable now.
