Excellent wine and I have no recollection of buying any of the mixed case of Rudius I have. Definitely benefits from airtime, but his is in its wheelhouse. Come expecting a big Napa cab but circa 1980s style, and you will be rewarded.

Crystals on the cork introduced a wonderfully concentrated, indigo cabernet with deep blueblack fruit on top of the smooth but evident tannins. I'll wait a few years for my other bottle, which I believe will merit a higher score by then. 93+

No notes. Drank this along with a 2014 River-Marie Panek. Wineberserkers DiFara's pizza offline in NYC. Both wines were outstanding, with a nod to the RM. It was an Oh My wine. Wish I had another bottle. Drink or hold.

This wine was singing tonight -- this reminded me of a better, more complex, denser version of a 2018 Ontogeny that I had the other night. It still has nice energy despite how big it is and wonderful dark fruit flavor. Has the whole chocolate and #2 pencil thing going on. Ripe tannins lengthen the finish. AMAZING QPR.

I am really enjoying this tonight. It is complex with layers of graphite and fresh tobacco.
