Still drinking very well, with good acidity in the finish giving some liveliness and balance to the dark fruit on the front of the palate. For around $50, this wine has really over-delivered.

A terrific showing for this wine, which is still youthful at age 7. It’s delicious on opening but 4 hours of air and the bouquet is gorgeous. Lots of floral notes and a touch of wood smoke. In the mouth, the dark-toned fruit is freshened by good acidity. There’s also a minerally streak on the back end that reminds me of Mike’s Pellet Vineyard cabs. Really excellent, and with years to go.

Slow ox for an hour. Nice, but not great. Started to fade after a couple hours. Drink now.

Decanted for two hours. Soft tannins , lush mouth feel, hint of cedar. Very drinkable and paired well with Grilled NY strips. Drink this winter

A solid 92 - no formal notes, but these still have plenty of life left in bottle, so no hurry
