  Wow - Decant 4 hours - drank in Zalto Glasswear - and let me tell you this wine is huge. Bold fruit, smooth, I'm saddened I only have 1 from when I first joined Miner wine club. Honestly, if you can find this wine, get it. It's ready now and on election victory night, glad I had this wine.

  Nicely rounded and complex. Enjoyed it for Mother’s Day 2020 with filet mignon celebrating during COVID-19 shut in.

  Drinking well now. If you have some, drink up. Notes of blackberry, leather, high carbon steel and cauliflower.

  Nary a hint of age in its color. A nose of red fruit, touch of oak. The palate reads red raspberry, red cherry, vanilla. A hint of forest floor to suggest its age, but not much. Tannins that hit firmly, but not overwhelmingly so. They like to sit on the front of the palate and not move any further back. A nice moderate to long finish with no bitterness. This wine is singing right now. And, based on its structure, it could rest for a few more years, but why wait - it's gorgeous.

  Decanted >3 hours. It has been 8 years laying since the last time we drank a bottle of this. My notes indicated nice but not a blow away wine. Well, this baby has grown up. Big bold dark red fruit with smoke, earth, vanilla and pepper. It has moved towards Cab (only 52%) but is now in the Wow category. Sorry to see this go. In a great window right now.
