Tasted blind. Muted florals, light honey and chalkiness fill the nose. Soft, round body, almost luscious mouthfeel, but still bone dry with excellent minerality. Hints of lemon and green apple as well. Medium finish. Quite enjoyable.

Tasted blind. Lots of beeswax, and perhaps some burned rubber, on the nose. A bit funky for my taste. Tons of acid on the body, to the point of being overly tart. The age comes through, but in a good way.

Tasted blind. Intense nose. Melon, big fruit flavors, and a hint of tequila. Dry, nervy and acid driven body. Medium weight, but still a big wine. Lemon and glycerine dominate the body.

Tasted blind. Definitely funky on the nose, rounded out with some oak spice, dark fruit, and smoke. You can taste the age on the body. Medium-plus weight, with cherry and earth. Soft, fine tannins give this wine good length and balance.

Tasted blind. Oak and spice on the nose, but in nice proportion. A bit bright on the body, with cherry and dark berry fruit leading into a lengthy finish. Fine tannins and nice acidity round out the package. Overall quite nice, if a touch hot.

Tasted blind. Barrel spice, blackberry and plum on the nose, along with a bit of heat. Big, juicy, and ripe, this has a classic Napa profile. Fine tannins and big acids round out the package.

Double-decanted 4 hours prior to tasting. Ripe blueberry, roasted meats, and an earthy funk on the nose. Touch of heat, too. Super smooth, supple body. Great fruit (big, ripe, and juicy), earthiness, and umami, with super-fine tannins and an incredible finish that lingers for quite some time. Definitely needs a big decant if drinking now.

Tasted blind. Great nose. Classic Bordeaux, with wood spice and some earthiness. Still has some fruit left, but leaning more towards tea, tobacco, and earth on the soft and elegant body. Superfine tannins, with great length on the finish. Very well balanced, and drinking quite well at this stage.
