  Fabulous bottle and just going to get better !! CK notes on March 11th are spot on… abd compared to the 2019 bottle, this ‘18 needs more time to settle down.. where as the ‘19 is Singing right now!!! So glad I’ve got a few of each to chart their progress !! Think the 18s need a year or two more of bottle slumber !!

  Dark purple, nose shows notes of blackberry, pencil lead and black cherry, structured, balanced, dark and soulful, tender mouthfeel, rich and layered, flavors of blackberry, currant, chocolate bark and tobacco, delicious, deep and dark, getting some steaks ready for this one, drinks well now but no rush at all

  Great Napa cab, black currant, blackberry, pencil shavings and laether on the nose. Blackberries, sourcherry, strawberry on the palate with a lingering spicy finish. Acidity at a perfect level. A little bit of tannic at the moment but it does not hurt. It is enjoyable right now, will be better in a few years. I will hold on to my other bottles, or I won’t. I don’t know, it is perfectly drinkable right now, too.
