April 30, 2024 - Rich expensive oak on the nose. And dark and full bore on the palate. It's substantial and massive.

March 25, 2024 - Dark purple in the glass. Nice dark fruit profile. Tannins a bit strong at this point. Medium finish. Will likely gain a point in a few years when tannins settle a bit.

February 3, 2024 - S&E Napa Extravaganza (at Home): Another surprise of the evening (after the unveiling) as this rating was higher than I have ever given Lede - and I am not normally a great fan.
Some acidity in the finish, although the finish is a little short.
While the color and nose seemed to indicate a fruit bomb, it is not a fruit bomb and has hints or restraint.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 8, 2023 - One hour decant. Dark fruits, unresolved tannins. Needs more time in the cellar.

November 26, 2023 - deep dark red berry and spice; notable tannin is moderately fine; oak already integrating; firm on day one, more open, albeit darker on day two
