April 1, 2024 - After a two hour devant. In a really good place now. Surprised me with its elegance despite not being a top flight vintage. There is refined opulence with obvious Cab Sauv character and just a dash of prunes but less than the 2008 which has a more cooked quality to it. Note to me: drink before its 20 year mark.

October 22, 2023 - After two hours decanted it opened up finally into a really nice balanced wine, earthy and spicy, but not as rich as some other years.

August 4, 2023 - This wine has aged perfectly! The nose was filled with rior dark fruits and a touch of leather. The taste followed with beautiful flavors of ripe dark raspberry and black cherry. Plum came as everything passed. The finish was long with these aged tannins and a tweak of acid. Great wine!!
