Drinking nicely, did not fade like the last bottle I’ve had. It has a predominant Napa fruit flavor, but muted by the age. I don’t think there is enough structure to make this age much further unfortunately.

The first glass was very good with some great typical Napa fruit and a good balance of oak, but the fruit faded fast. This wine is unfortunately already on the decline. Drink soon and drink fast as it got flabby and boring after an hour. Do not devant.

Medium dark purple. Despite 14.8% abv, I thought this was well balanced and structured without being jammy. Lots of blackberry fruit, cassis and a touch of dark chocolate. Drink now - 2022.

PnP. Beautiful aroma of cherry. Palate is full and deep with dark berry and cherry. I think it has plenty of time left.
