February 8, 2022 - Opened for Karen's birthday. Dark ruby with no signs of bricking. Lovely nose....dusty tannins, yes cigar box per PMJak11, cedar, black cherry, campfire embers, vanilla, Initially tart-ish, fleshes out with air, giving more sweetness. Very neutral palate at first, but gains traction. Elegant and classy wine.

March 13, 2021 - 1hr+ decant. Lovely purple, dark red color. Amazing nose of cigar box, dark cherries, and ever so subtle green elements. Wine was deep and chewy to start with a touch of vanilla and oak at the end, which wasn’t out of place at all! It did start to fade towards the end or I would have been @ 96. Reminded me of all those great Bordeaux’s we drank in London!! Finish was medium plus. Paired lovely with mustard and applewood marinated ribs.

January 16, 2021 - Bottle 3 of 4.
Consistent showing compared to 6 months ago.
Dense, juicy, vibrant, long, complex. Never comes off as remotely heavy or extracted. Balanced. A stunner of a cab and a great value at current price.2 people found this helpful Comment
