Two hour decant. Deep dark ruby color. Blackberry, plum, raspberry thumbprint cookie, dark chocolate, and subtle sage. Dry, satiny palate, with fine, lingering acidity. Velvety tannins on the longish finish.
So young, but already so good. Quintessential higher end Napa CS. Terrific elegance here. Drinks twice its price point.

Three hour decant. Very deep dark electric ruby magenta color. Strawberry preserves, blackberry, violet, Belgian waffle, orange rind, anise, and chocolate shavings. Dry, crushed velvety palate, with slightly cottony acidity. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
This is super youthful. It kept improving over an hour of drinking. I hope to wait another year for the next bottle. This is not yet fully integrated. The palate is somewhat coarse. All the raw materials are there for 96+ points.
