90+. Nice Napa cab with classic notes on the nose, dark raspberry, blueberry, a slight vegetable note. Medium-full bodied. Nice finish still a bit tannic. Decanted 2 hours.

Its been 2 years and I am staying with my previous score of 90. This is a great wine of course but am not sure it can get much higher.
The nose shows the fruit but it remains muted and holding back. Nice mouth feel and the acids are in balance with the tannin and alcohol but fruits of the vine are just not as present as previous vintages.
I am still of fan of Flora and the Wild Boar, but the 09 vintage leaves you wanting a 2010 or 2007.

Very nice... still with a bit of grip, but tannin is very smooth. Subtle earthiness.

A little tight with nice cedar notes. Drinking nicely now. A bit lighter than other vintages but lovely and well received.

I remember why I bought this wine. Amazing. Had a comparison tasting. Friend brought Caymus and I my FS Wild Boar. Loved both, but this won out.
