  excellent nose with black fruit, balsam, cedar. Fine tannins with age, full body, leather, graphite flavors coming up but the fruit is intact with good acid. Wish I had more! My only bottle was purchased in Dec 2020 and now seeing the light of the day. The wait was worth it based on comments from 2020. This should be good for another 2-5 years but is excellent now.

  Wow, tons better than a couple of years ago! Smooth and silky right out of the gate. Plush but not overly extravagant this has a nice subtle balance and is very drinkable.

  Drinking great right now with a brief decant. Dark fruit, a little tobacco and leather balanced with ample acidity and grippy tannins. Plenty of life in this. Drink or hold for another 3-5 years.

  This wine is getting better with time. It has a really nice nose with dark fruit and a bit of vanilla. Cooler climate cab so not huge but I prefer that. Overall very pleasant with it without food.

  This smells cool climate. Cool, forest berries and bright red currant that mix with fresh balsam, Turkish coffee and mushroom are at the fore. Medium bodied, very nice, crunchy red fruit and earthy, funky flavors with a bit of celery root on the back half. Oak is not a factor. Chalky tannins and a crisp, graphite driven finish. Delicious, with enough structure to hold it up. No reason to wait, but should hold for a bit.
