Community Tasting Note

  • Papies wrote: 92 points

    November 28, 2022 - Very young still and almost a touch austere albeit overlaid with proper Napa fruit. The wine is good don't get us wrong but just we had that feeling that we rushed it and with time this would evolve into something so much more. The fruit is very much there but its even tighter than a 2005 Bordeaux now, has the power and all and the presence but would have loved some more complexity. a Solid 92-93 for now but we will wait quite a bit more for our next bottle.
