  Wonderful smooth bottle, great with red meat and on its own.

  This was quite good. Entry had some character to it with notes of dark fruit, blueberry jam, plum, and garden herbs. Finish was earthy with a subtle leather note. The tannins were pronounced at approx. the 3h mark post open. I imagine this will continue to improve over the years, hard to see what the upside will be.

  Only brief notes. I loved this. New world Napa ripeness wrapped in a really tight tannic core. Definitely all fruit right now. So primary but great balance.

  Beautiful wine when opened. Completely died after a two hour decant. Blackberry on the nose. Medium plus on the acid and tannin. Enjoyed it a ton when opened but it quickly fell off during the decant. Kind of upsetting. I have one more bottle left and will wait a couple more years

  A big wine, with notes of blackberry and tar. Approachable now, but should be fantastic in a couple of years.
