  Served by the glass on my United flight from Frankfurt to Houston. Deep dark magenta color. Red apple core, blueberry jam, and brown sugar. Smooth, dry, fullish bodied. Full, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.
  
  This is an easy drinker and just a touch extracted. Drinking at altitude likely diminishes my perception of the wine. Could be slightly better at or near sea level.

  Same score and notes as in 2022. Paired with a bone-in filet and it was perfect. A very nice bottle of wine.

  Had several glasses of this at a corporate event so no detailed notes, but this was approachable and enjoyable as a pnp. Balanced with pleasant dark fruit and enough structure to last late into this decade.

  Blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. Rich and elegant, the fragrant, medium-high intensity nose delivers lush, complex, ripe, dark fruited, blackberry, black and red currant, fine oak spices, grilled herb, and earth aromas with touches of boysenberry and floral. It's full-bodied with ripe black and red currant, cassis, blackberry, savoury oak spice, earth, peppery spice, grilled herb flavours surrounding a savoury core. It's framed by fresh, juicy acidity and elegant, yet firmly structured, fine-grained tannins. It's a touch palate warming, but still balanced. Savoury and earthy with graphite notes linger on the exceptionally long finish. Provides immense pleasure now, but will reward cellaring.
