  Decanted at 4:00 and served at 6:00, this is chocolate covered black cherries with a tannic whip finish. Purring cat with really sharp claws. It’s not punishing at all to drink now with food, but on its own there is no question that time is needed. Feels close to or even at Special Selection level, and quite reasonably priced in the Napa Cab market.

  Drinking this waaaay too young, but wanted to start getting a sense of 2018. This wine in particular reminds me of the 2013 EMH. Very tannic with good acid at this stage without giving up much else. Dark chocolately fruits (but not sweet in any way) at most. Hoping this follows the path of 2013 and in a few, maybe many, years should start opening up nicely. Would say give it plenty of air, but suspect its not be enough at this stage. Instead, give it plenty of time and I bet you will be fantastically rewarded.
