March 24, 2024 - Pop, short decant and pour at a steakhouse. Paired wonderfully with ribeye. Really started to shine after it sat in the glass for an hour or so.

April 21, 2022 - PNP from decanter at a steakhouse.
Dark and rich red berries, cassis, dark black fruit and cocoa. Penetrating and intense nose with bulky but enjoyable body, and long finish. In a nice drinking window; stylistically much bigger and primary than I like my wines but very good for the style -

March 30, 2022 - From a 375ml. PnP and sublime from the start. Rutherford dust and cherries for days! White pepper and a medicinal/Luden’s note on the nose along with more earthy components. Such a lovely flow across the palate, no hard edges.
This is a wine I hate to love and love to hate, it’s so damned good but the pricing has gone haywire. I pick up some older vintages here and there and yearn for the days before napaflation!
