  March 16, 2019 - Inky and plummy. I lost the sone in the inventory and probably waited a bit to long. It was good the first day and so so the 2nd. I have my '07s and will be trying those next.

  March 12, 2017 - Inky dark in the glass. A nose that at first is a little offsetting. But, give it a decant and time and this wine turns into a beauty. A nose of oak, florals, vanilla. The pallet is soft and elegant but still firm with structure given its age. Notes of cassis, raspberry, vanilla, mocha. I paired it with BGE salmon and it was wonderful, not overpowering. A nice full finish that lingers. I score it a 94 based on its wonderful performance following more than a decade of waiting for dinner.

  November 14, 2016 - Ruby color. Nice nose of red fruits, floral and earthy nuances. Good balance, medium body. Medium finish. This drank very nicely, on the softer side of Napa cabs. In a very good place for drinking.

  March 20, 2016 - Nice deep dark fruit flavors. A very balanced wine, still with structure and a nice tannic finish.
