  August 11, 2012 - Pop and pour, although it did improve as time went on. Heavy pepper and oak on the nose, plum taste and a decent finish. Good stuff.

  June 20, 2012 - I opened this bottle and vinturied into a glass to open up for about 40 minutes. After sitting in the glass my first smell told me this was going to be a good bottle. This is a smooth well integrated wine that has some white pepper on the finish. I am not sold that this bottle is worth the price but it was an excellent well made bottle that had all the bold fruit with the slightest spice and grafite that I like in a well aged Napa Cab. Drink them if you got them they are as good as I believe they will get!!
