  November 29, 2022 - Drukket til bursdag. Lite primærfrukt igjen på nesen, men litt mørke plommer og solbær.Tobakk, toast, cedar, stall. Tilsvarende i munnen. Medium syre og medium + tanniner som er fint integrerte. Mot lang ettersmak. Flott vin, men nesten litt skuffet over mangelen på gjenværende frukt.

  May 27, 2019 - Opened and decanted for one hour. There was a good amount of sediment so be sure to decant and pour properly or be prepared for grit. The color was a very dark, brooding, dark ruby with just a bit of lighter ruby on the rim. On the nose, this is everything a top quality Napa Cabernet should be with black currant, ash, gravel, black cherry, black plums, and hints of earth, baking spice, and cacao. On the palate it is more of the dark fruits with well integrated tannins and the right balance of acidity that tells me this still has a ways to go. The flavors were black currant, black cherry, baking spices, cocoa, cigar box, violets and just a subtle hint of spearmint. Full bodied with a long and lingering finish of dark ripe fruits, crushed earth and more cigar box. Just a special bottle really.

  October 28, 2017 - 91+. In a perfect place for my tastes with no signs of fatigue. Grill up a steak and enjoy.

  December 9, 2016 - I was disappointed that it was not more. All the parts would rate well but something was missing. Was big bold and tasty but it all did not come together completely. It seemed tight but Aeration did not open it up.

  November 24, 2016 - Deep dark purple in color. On the nose this has a mix of lead pencil, wet stone and a hint of stinky cheese. On the palate this is a well structured and well balanced wine. Nothing about the wine overpowers it's subtle and easy to drink. A mix of vanilla, cassis and a hint of oak but very well balanced. Medium finish
