February 23, 2020 - Finding some bottle variation so this ticks a little lower. Very much reminded me of a Bordeaux on the nose and this one was just a touch pruney like a 2003 Bordeaux. Still older Cali and have a few bottles left so be interesting how they go over next few years.

April 21, 2019 - Very nice, definitely ready to drink, close to being too late. Medium strawberry red color has become dominant in the glass and comes through early on the palate. Finish does not last very long at this point in its life. Was decanted for 2 hours, probably not necessary.

February 23, 2019 - Plum and ripe blackberry notes. Still fruit forward, not a lot of secondary notes. This finishes silky smooth- the tannins are fully integrated. The acidity is starting to fade a bit- I'd drink these up over the short term.
