Decanted for one hour. Nose of blackberry, blueberry, currant, cocoa powder and spice. Black and blue fruit, cocoa powder, spice and velvety tannins on the palate. Very long finish. Full bodied. Served with a mushroom and fontina galette.

I watched this wine closely over the first hour and it really evolved. Hit its stide about 90 minutes in. Silky smooth with black cherry, tobacco, cocoa. Made the 2017 Halll we were drinking seem like an adolescent

6 years since I last opened a bottle of this and boy is it phenomenal. As I go through my ‘12 TOR Cabs this year, the ‘12 BTK seemed to have lost an edge but this neighboring Oakville vineyard is firing on all cylinders!

This is my second bottle of this in the last six months. I gave this bottle 3 hours of air time before drinking and it was significantly improved. This was deep indigo in color and nicely balanced between black and blue fruit, soft, silky tannins and earthy, savory, loamy notes. Long, extended finish. Drinking really well right now.

Very tasty but lacks some complexity
