Well that was disappointing! After reading recent reviews, I was expecting a stunning wine tonight. Instead I tasted a wine that was perfectly pleasant and smooth, but with muted flavors and nothing exciting. I'm hoping that this is just an off bottle and that my others will be better, or perhaps more time will help, but at the moment this wine seems to not be worth its high price.

4 hour decant from split- well balanced with a beautiful mouthful of subdued fruit. Not an over the top cab which will continue to improve for another decade and hold for at least 20 years. Very enjoyable. Revisit 2023

Decanted 45 minutes. Deep and intense Cab with lovely black fruit and earth, supple tannins, unobtrusive acid. Crowd pleaser.

Before I had the 2013 vintage, I would argue this was the best wine made by vineyard 29.
A big wine, black fruit, herbal notes, cedar, tobacco, leather, hints of chocolate, layers of favors, finish with tannins. A+
