Clear garner with no rim Browning black licorice, graphite, white pepper. Very low acids, low tannins. Clove. Short balanced finish half bottle at French Laundry too young

Trying to decide if it's just young, or boring. I'm predisposed to the latter. It doesn't strike me as closed or having enough weight to expand on. I'll say hold, but not built for a long haul. Codicil: better on the third night under Private Preserve™.

PnP at Kiln. Open and quite prety. Strongly disagree with the comments re candied notes. 13%

Pure misery. Can’t get thru 2 ounces of this. Overtly candied, sickingly sweet. I’m literally ill from tasting it. Undrinkable.

Overwhelmingly domestic Russian River cola note, and very ripe. Did not improve with air. Disappointing.
