February 18, 2024 - Medium - dark red. Fruit and tobacco aroma. Good fruit flavor, spices, not earthy. Very mellow tannins. I have one more bottle, not in a hurry to drink but likely in the next year or so. Better to go now than wait too long.

December 25, 2023 - Similar to previous TNs, but even more developed. Slow ox for 90 minutes. Initially thought there was an amber edge, but that dissipated after 90 minutes. Rich, ripe currants on the nose. Deep, rich black cherries, roasted plums and cassis on the palate with layered, slightly sweet fruit. Well-balanced with a long, satisfying finish with fine grained tannins. Remarkably fresh with the structure to probably last another 5-10 years. Superb!!

March 9, 2022 - Return to Napa; 3/6/2022-3/13/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): A real treat to get to try it and I wish we could have spent a bit more time with the evolution. First taste was a bit musty - old library and cigar and pipe tobacco. Like a very old Bordeaux and even a bit older than I'd have thought. As it evolved in the glass though it opened up and the fruit came back a bit. Really one of the best wines we've ever been poured at a tasting because it is actually in a lovely drinking window right now.
