First bottle of half case. Positively surprised. Drinking beautiful, resolved sweet tannins, velvety palate. This is in a great moment and can be enjoyed now or hold a few years. Very happy with this - a significant upgrade over past CT bottlings - and looking forward to its evolution.

Nicely resolved! Moderately dark color. Modest, but appealing nose. Lovely in the mouth. A touch fruity but beautifully integrated. To me it is near its peak. Good acidity. Nice finish.

Really hitting its zone now. I love the added complexity that age and a smart dose of Merlot are giving this. I'm sure there's still another several years left in the tank. I miss the Cellartracker Barrel Projects <sad face>

Drinking absolutely beautiful. Near peak but no rush to drink it up. After 2 hours it is fading. May be time to drink up!

Really firing on all cylinders. Not overpowering, just elegant and delicious.
Drink or hold.
