March 23, 2024 - It is beginning the slide down. This was a great wine made during a difficult year. I enjoyed the last bottle.

March 4, 2024 - See previous note, I found the oak demeanor stepped up to the forefront in its presentation which diminishes it slightly for me from my last note.

January 27, 2024 - Just outstanding. Classic dark and brooding Napa, tannic, smooth, toasted oak and deep red fruit. Epic. Dollar for dollar one of the best wines I have had in recent memory.

January 29, 2023 - Decanted for almost 3 hours. This is in a very good place and I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews. This is just starting to change to light purple in color from dark. It is medium and body and finish and elegant. Herbal notes and a syrupy balsamic quality. Very pleasant. Not a massive Napa Cabernet but also not bordeaux. But a very nice bottle of wine.
