The nose is captivating. It is soft in the mouth while it still has structure to last. Plums, herbs, licorice, with good acidity and a nice, long finish.

Blind sample, felt like it might have been a little bit off to me so no score. We are suspect of the kids of some of the 4oz glass jars.. I digress
Pretty dark color in the glass, purple rim. Aromatic pen ink notes, black currant, herbal streak, maybe some green pepper. Chewy tannins still preside and there is a little sweetness to the finish. It did remind me of the Beta wines a good deal after the reveal (but I thought younger Haut Medoc like 2015 Sociando in this case).

Lovely Napa cab in a restrained almost elegant style. No unripeness though. Concetrated balck currants intervoven with hints of cedar spice and green (but not peppery) leafy herbs in a seamless nateral expression that is reminiscent of Lafitte. Subtle complexity really builds on the finish. Really impressive wine in early maturity. Wish I had loaded up on this producer before the current price level.

Hitting s really nice spot. Open and ready, with nice mature fruit, some leather and tobacco.

That. But QPR is tough.
