  Still young. Good restrained red and black fruit. Stylistically this is more Boardeaux than California. There is real depth and length here. There pleasing notes of tar, earth and leather, along with cedar and hints of cake spices. The acidity is quite high and the tannins and firm and grippy. There is some complexity here. Drinking now but will be better in 10 years.

  Very nice fully mature cab with nice finish. Seems at peak so I would drink sooner at this point.

  Still excellent. Enjoyed on the beach in Mexico with some good steak.
  
  A couple of years in, this is showing a more savory character, with more floral and vegetable flavors than fruits with noticeable eucalyptus and menthol. It’s actually more savory than I would prefer but an excellent wine nonetheless. Very very long finish.

  Intense nose with lots of fruit, dark berries, cassis, blackberries, tobacco, and earth. Medium acidity with quite a bit of tannins, black cherries, and more blackberries and tobacco on the palate. Finish is quite long. This is a rich, ripe, and big wine but it's actually quite balanced. Still, it feels much too young. I would hold for another 10+ years. 93+
