  June 18, 2023 - 12 years in the cellar, fathers day, prime ribeyes, let’s go! Impression only as a drank this a couple days ago. Really liked this, with a little quibble on the nose, not as expressive as could be. That said, the palate was excellent. Well smoothed out, but still juicy acidity, this was/is in a great spot for *my palate*. KL was a favorite and whenever I drink one, I wish they were still around

  March 20, 2020 - In a really good place. Red and black fruits, cassis, a touch of herbal, some earthiness. Similar flavors. The tannins have softened nicely. Great balance and a smooth finish. Still showing nice acidity. Too bad its my last bottle, would like to see where this goes with a few more years. Not sure it will improve with more time., but would like to see.

  January 19, 2020 - Appears to be at peak from 750
  At 12 years this has softened quite demonstrably.
  Plush and quite soft savory dark berry fruit with a hint of oak. Acidity is fading and this is lacking brightness, leaving a slightly bitter finish.
  Absolutely lovely, but I worry this may be just starting to fade a bit. Definitely YFS.

  December 18, 2019 - Coravined a single glass 1 hour prior. The nose sings out of the glass -- a floral though soft cassis balanced against a dense and lovely black cherry with a light inoffensive waft of acidity. On the palate you get the lush blackberry and traditional big Napa fruit finish. I saw below where this was said to be a food pairing wine rather than a stand alone and I heartily agree. While I found the wine exceedingly enjoyable, paired with my petite filet mignon the wine really expanded and the two brought out the best in each other. Lots of sediment so I will strain the remaining wine and serve with company at a later date. Bottom line: rich floral black cherry nose, lush dense blackberry on the palate with a long finish and a great meat pairing wine.

  May 26, 2018 - Drank alongside the other 2007 Reserves (BTK, HL, Morisoli) across three days. This one eveloved the most - starting out somewhat tart, with bright red fruit. With some time, this turned darker, with a longer, fuller finish.
