See me earlier review from 10/18/2015. My last bootle of I think 9 since its my wife's favorite CA red wine (we bought more via auction after buying direct). The aromatics are off the charts right now with bright perfumed red fruits with some evergreen which creates an exotic nose. Drinking great with a pop n pour and some swirling. On the palate .... it is checking all the right boxes for both my wife and I (with an exclamation point). YMMV...but no need to hang on here its an awesome wine right now, but not going afar in the near (5 years).

My 4th bootle - bought direct and professionally stored. Still outstanding with some new aromatics of menthol and black tea. Long long finish and now the tannins are smooth vs 2 years ago. Not at peak, imho but may not be a big upside. Still a great wine and all about your palate preferences. Clearly not a pop and pour wine as it evolves slowly. I have a 1.5L to save for another 5+ years. Enjoy!

Might be in a weird spot now. Not like the awesome bootle about 4 years ago. Drank a glass and even waited another 2 hours. Very red fruit palate but overly tart and lacking the sweetness from prior bottles. Still a long finish but lacking the wow factor. Would wait now. Disappointed.
