I don't get this wine. Boozy, alcoholic nose with cocoa powder. Full bodied, robust. Chocolate and blackberry notes. Tense, high alcohol, unbalanced. I'm underwhelmed.

2022 Judgement of Chevy Chase (R & N's residence): Expressive nose displaying ripe black fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry, a hint of green, lead pencil, scorched earth, dark spices and earth. Very good concentration, nicely layered concentrated black fruit, good balance, bright acidity, earthy mineral, slightly coarse tannins and a medium to long ripe black fruit driven finish with a hint of green and ash at the end. This is a well made Napa Cab but not quite the same level as the other two wines in the flight.

Ripe Bing Cherry and allspice aromas are the first indication of sweet, fully ripe fruit. Balanced acidity and even tannin carry the black and red fruit flavors across the palate and resolve ih a gently gripping finish.

Tannic and dry. Needs a decent decant. Good flavor body

Dark red fruit on the nose and palette. Enjoyed very much. D really loved. Would pay 45-ish, but not 60-ish….

Cork had worm hole running length of it and although very slight leakage, wine was definitely affected. Sad as usually quite good
