Incredible bouquet,very long finish. The tannins are well integrated and I don’t think this will get any better. Drinking well now. Very smooth, deep garnet in color.

This is a serious California Bordeaux. The legs are great, the tannins are well integrated and the acidity is perfect. Really a very smooth wine. Deep dark crimson color. I like French Bordeaux wines, but this is one of my favorite Bordeaux.

Drinking well at this time to my palate. Much better balance than on release where the solid wall of tannin blocked most of the fruit flavors. Now the tannin has integrated and the dark fruit is released with very subtle notes of tobacco and forest floor. Mostly about the fruit still. Not sure if this is "at peak", but no regrets drinking this bottle.

Bordeaux type blend, but very bold. Good. 98 dollar value
