Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: A bit of heat covering the dark cherries and earth, while having that annoying note of something artificial, something not right. It’s so hard to describe.
P: Similar fruits from the nose that show a bit of brightness but cuts off quickly on the mid to end palate.

From a half bottle. This was quite earthy, and the fruit was backward and a bit smoky - reminded me more of Sonoma than Napa. Feels traditional in some ways.

Nice, somewhat basic. Prob needed more than the 3 hours air I gave it. If I had more I'd wait a couple years. Straightforward profile, secondary emerging. Good steak frites wine. Love that it comes in a 375ml. Also, wish I'd opened a 750ml, maybe it deserves another point...

Very nice. Touch of tannins that gives a nice dry finish. I get dark fruit of plums and blackberry.
