June 20, 2022 - A Lost Weekend In NH; 6/16/2022-6/20/2022 (Lake Wentworth): Classic. Olive. Teriyaki. Graphite. Old world. Elegant. Best red wine so far. Integrated seemless balance of fruit and aged, tertiary cabernet flavors.

February 6, 2022 - A grand old Cab that is still alive but fading. Took 45 minutes to open, was at it's best for another 45, then slipped. Drink it if ya got it.

August 20, 2020 - Two hour decant- certainly in its prime and possibly slightly past. Perfect balance, everything is well integrated and the finish is superb. You would be hard pressed to pick this as new world in a Bordeaux tasting. This really needs to be consumed in next couple of years. Fruit is still delicious.
