April 8, 2024 - Silky and polished delivering sweet plum, blackberry compote and coffee beans. Glides through gracefully from start to the long delicious finish. Tasted side-by-side with the 2018. At this stage I have a fuller bodied, darker and deeper fruit flavor. NI:5, FI:23, FC:9, B:4, L:5

February 26, 2023 - Nice fruit forward napa cab with a some cassis and tar notes to go with the dark fruit. Still, pretty simple. Tannins have already settled out and with almost no acidity, guessing this is a drink now or for a few more years before the big fruit really starts to fade. Not sure there is enough there to gain much complexity over time. Pnp'd and it was good right out of the bottle and really didn't improve much in the glass over time.

October 21, 2022 - Bit more fruit than I was expecting but not in a bad way. Super smooth with a nice finish. Not overly powerful. Always a fav of ours.
