October 20, 2023 - NOT blind. No decanting.
Chewy and light fruit with dark berry body. No negative signs of aging other than the nose is no longer youthfully bright. This is slightly broody.
Tannins integrated without any level of acidity in the finish with is nice. This may be at a beautiful peak for those (like me) that like a powerful yet not acidic cab.
I am going to up my score (I assume as I am not looking back at the history as I write this but am relying on memory)

October 21, 2022 - Amazing I am just getting round to another as I had one last Dec. Audouzed for an hour, was way too tight, put in Decanter ( my own advice last Dec) still drinking beautifully with a big ol NY steak. But I would insist you drink these sooner than later

January 14, 2022 - TRB and MS Blind Tasting; 1/14/2022-1/23/2022: Dark red in color with a nondescript nose and light fruit.
Overall a little less fruity than the Myriad Round Pond but that is probably to be expected of most in the line up.

January 6, 2022 - Decanted and then poured in glass right away. Great right away. Plenty of great fruit. Nice acid. Long finish. Very enjoyable. Just as good on second night.

December 17, 2021 - Audouzed for two hours, probably should have just thrown in a decanter becasue it was delicous at hour three and very tight before. Drink over the holidays with a good decant or hold
