I 100% would have thought this was a high end Napa cab blend blind. I’m sure it’s well made but not my style. Lots of oak, high alcohol, definitely dense and well structured but not much complexity. I wouldn’t buy again as it seems overhyped.

Ft Wayne Dinners; 3/19/2024-3/20/2024: Drank over 2 nights with other wines, 15.5% abv, well balanced with no noticeable alcohol taste, complex flavors, full bodied, never soared but enjoyable in small amounts, would try again.

Wow. Dark black and blue fruit shows promise. Palate smacks of overextraction and unbalance. Definitely a fair bit of alcohol that is noticeable and off putting. More of an unrefined Cali style. Not a fan and the contrast with the 16 would make you think the wines were made by different Chateau.

Tasted at Fruits of the Vine 2024 at Edition Hotel Singapore. Not able to write down tasting notes, only rating score.

Dry smooth tannin. Full body and nose. Lots of fruit on palate. Enjoyable bottle.
