Pnp. Disappointing for a $75 wine. Will decant next time and tame my enthusiasm. Hope for a better experience.

Dark inky purple, unbelievable nose, mouth coating tannins, large body, long finish, hot finish.

Classic cabernet fruit, too hot on the end.

Aging nicely, but still could use a yr or 2. Kept at 55 since purchase.

Well made and easily approachable now. 95 seems a bit high, but I am pleased with purchase of a 6-pack. I won't be waiting until 2012 to try again.

Solid effort. Well balanced, slightly abrasive, but it was pop and pour. Should improve to 90+ over time.

IMO this bottle is not ready to drink at this point. Needs a few more years in the cellar as the fruit has yet to break through the heavy tannins that dominate.

Popped and poured and somewhat disappointed based on the high WS score. Will decant the next bottle.
