  Maybe I am having a hard time with Colgin right now, but a year ago it seemed like every Colgin I had was firing on all cylinders. This is my 2nd Colgin this year (other one was a 19 Cariad) and both kind of disappointed me relative to its pedigree. Don't get me wrong, the wine was very good, but it was not excellent. I decided to pull this for a vacation outing as a sort of redemption from the 19 Cariad I pulled a few weeks ago. The 14 IX Estate was all coiled up tight in the beginning and giving very little. As the evening progressed, the wine got better, but not much more. Some fruit started to rear its little head, but it was just simply locked up like Rapunzel and it probably needs another 3-5 years minimum. It feels like it has all the components to be a good wine, but just needs more time. Even more reason to believe wine is a living thing and that wine goes through phases of good and bad. 93/94 if I had to score today.

  Enjoyed after 1 hour decant and over the next 4 hours. Moments of greatness but overall not spectacular. Tried again on day 2 and it was consistent.

  Tasted with 34 hours air. Which perhaps explains why this presents as open, generous and ready to go. Wonderful! Big rich classic blackcurrant and cassis fruit, with some nice earthy leather, cinamon and sandalwood in support. Long finish with some complexity. Drinking now and will last for years.

  2023 Napa; 2/5/2023-2/9/2023 (Napa with a connection in Houston): 2014 IX Estate - as I drank this, I pulled up my note from June 2022 and wondered if I was drinking a different wine. This was a much better showing. Black and red berry fruited, not as structured as the last bottle, a much softer feel across the palate. Hint of blood orange and florals on the finish. I’m guessing this had much better air treatment.
