  Stunning color, aromatic nose, lots of depth on the palate. Long finish. Buy/drink

  2+ hours decant and it got better thereafter. Young, powerful, nearly jammy blackberries, boysenberries, black cherry, with mocha and tobacco notes. Sweet vanilla Oak. Smooth but still thick tannins. Eucalyptus at the long finish. The wine just kept going and going. At first the alcohol was going to take it down a point for me, but it started resolve itself. A must wine to revisit in 5 years.

  Quite a bit of bricking on this bottle. Layered with fruit and tertiary flavors coming through. Was a bit tired, for my palate I would drink now. Very complex and well balanced. 2 hour decant.

  Super extracted fruit bomb but with great balance and good complexity. I am an old world guy who sometimes dabbles in Napa and I really enjoyed this as a well made typical high end Napa cab. It needed an hour in the decanter before it showed well - IMO some of the criticisms of this wine are resolved with time and air and serving it at about 65F. This should last many more years.
