  January 13, 2024 - Bought in the secondary market at a decent price. After Mark’s positive review of the 2005, I decided to open this one and drank over two nights. Not sure if there was some bottle provenance issues but this felt slightly roasted/stewed, possibly just secondary or tertiary notes. Was hoping for more primary fruit notes but it felt a bit tired. Could be an off bottle.

  November 14, 2020 - Ripe but not roasted. Youthful enough, but it has some early tertiary things going on. I would have thought a 2012 rather than 08. Well integrated and all class

  September 22, 2020 - From a magnum. Another stellar showing, with tremendous concentration and depth of flavor. Dark red and black fruit notes dominate, bright and flower, with impressive balance. Some fennel and ash as well. Should last for decades.

  March 30, 2020 - Very nice, well-integrated, soft and smooth mouth-feel Napa cab blend. Complex without being overpowering, nicely balanced, pleasing breadth of flavors.
