  Presents as fresh and really quite young – no tertiary characteristics here. Cedar, thyme, a hint of balsamic, sweet blackcurrant fruit. It doesn't come across as complex, but it does come across as harmonious, and I really would have preferred to wait another 10 years before opening this bottle, as I think the wine would have had more to say if I'd waited. That said – very nice!

  This wine continues to drink well with similar profile to my last tasting earlier this year:notes of dark cherry, raspberry, cedar with soft, well integrated tannins. Nice finish. Paired with game meat tacos.

  Still quite young. This wine easily has another ten years. No secondary notes yet but a lovely wine

  Spicy fruit, silky body, plenty of brightness, this was so good. Had exhilarating moments where it tasted a little like a classic Bordeaux from the 80’s, but in the end this was comfortably (old-school) California is style. In the zone and drinking great.
