  Not decanted (staying at a hotel), this took over an hour to finally open. This seems like it's a bit past its rime, but has a nose of blackberry and boysenberry, lilacs, mint and new French oak. Full-bodied, this is rich with chunky, gravely tannins and lots of black fruits, milk chocolate and oak. Drink now. 91

  Probably better in a few years. Has some astringency left.

  Solid color, clarity and nose. Very good balance has notes of the classic Napa Cab fruit. Has dark fruits, good balance between acidity and fruit and still has a strong spine and structure. probably continue to improve and still have 10 Plus years. Enjoyable.

  Modest nose of black currant, creosote, charred cedar and mint. Grape jelly, blackberries and spice on the medium-bodied palate. Still moderately tannic, and a bit disjointed, this is likely losing fruit and volume and should be consumed in the next year or two. 90

  PnP. Medium purple color. Dark fruit, licorice, rhubarb, and perfume. Quite lovely. Decent tannins and more Rhubarb and dirt covered roots/beets on the palate. Unique and complex. Medium minus depth and strong finish. 92.5.
