May 30, 2022 - Dark fruit, a hint of chocolate in a true Bordeaux style. Full bodied with grippy tannins and a lingering finish. This was opened about 90 minutes before tasting and needed 90 minutes more to fully open. Nicely balanced but a bit muted compared top a 2010 Gravelly Meadow I drank about a month ago. Will give this another few years.

Black dark fruit, mocha, lavender, and some shining toasted oak. Gorgeous elegant palate with dimension, light acidity and great texture.. Strong but effeminate; in a very fine drinking window but has many many great years ahead. Very classy. -

September 21, 2018 - Only able to decant this for about 30 minutes. Deep black coloration with a very old school Napa (almost Bordeaux like) profile. Still a baby with the bulk of the fruit buried behind fine tannins and high acidity. Still there’s plenty to like with aged leather, dark chocolate, eucalyptus, graphite, cherry chapstick, and sandalwood. It gives the impression of being almost secondary but I think we are still a long way out from that.
