  April 25, 2024 - Decanted for 3 hours, but it needed at least twice that. Young and loaded with black fruit aromas and flavors. Notes of violets, graphite and licorice. Grippy tannins, and needs time in the cellar to evolve.

  April 17, 2024 - Two hour decant. Very deep dark intense ruby color. Ripe blackberry, dark raspberry, chocolate ganache, granite, and subtle dried mushroom. Smooth, dry palate, with good, satiny acidity. Plush and robust tannins on the longish finish.
  
  Absolutely terrific Napa CS. This kept improving over an hour of drinking. Again, my lady friend would have gone even higher with the score. She said some other things I cannot repeat in this forum when describing her enjoyment. ;)

  February 2, 2024 - One hour slow ox. Definitely one of the more approachable ‘18 Napa reds at this point. Tannins fairly mellow, will continue to improve but very good now with some air.

  August 26, 2023 - Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: The most tannic of the wines, it was also the most black fruited. Delicious in its own right, suffered from being served next to older vintages and the seemingly more wide open 19s. Seems to have a lot of potential with more age or an extended decant.
