  April 29, 2016 - Better than the bottles drunk in 2014. Aromatically this showed as Napa cab, although the flavor profile was tighter, even after air time.

  May 20, 2014 - This opened up tannic and lacking fruit. I would have guessed cheap brunello. Over time it did improve, although it never made me think Napa cab. This paired very well with Piedmontese sirloin steak - seemed to add depth and fruit. After the meal, meh. I expect more from a Napa cab, even at the JJB closeout price. I don't see this improving much with age.

  January 13, 2014 - Nice reddish purple color. Very dark fruits on the nose, and also on the first taste. Blackberry, black currant and a little herb of some sort. Balanced tannins, and it feels more like a non-California cabernet in it's weight. It has a precision to it that makes you enjoy drinking this wine. It was even better about 45 minutes later with a filet that had some cracked black pepper. Very nice Monday night wine experience.
