Fairly big Napa Cabernet as one would expect. Enough tannins and acidity to keep it going a while longer. Black and red fruit but not jammy. Smooth tannins. Not sure how much this will improve, but keeping my last until 2024 most likely.

Decanted for three hours but a fourth would have been better as initially the wine was mostly texture without complexity. It is both structure and depth which made this bottle so successful: the acidic bite followed by echoing fruit at the finish. Plush across the palate with tea-tinged dark berry fruit, I found the wine quite pleasurable several hours in. The wife? Not so much.

Soft, smooth tannins. Dark fruit flavors. Medium finish. Nice.

Good, but always expecting much much more for the price and the names.

Fruit bombs with minimal tannins like this don’t age very well. Drink now.
