November 2, 2019 - PnP’d. Very young. Needs a good 5yrs. Nose is starting to open up. Wine has massive bell and green peppers, and is very green. Medium minus finish. Definitely drank too early.

June 6, 2019 - Medium dark garnet color. Mid-weight. Red and mostly black fruit that takes time to evolve on the glass. Has good acidity and structure but I don’t think it resembles a Bordeaux. A bit too sweet and fleshy and I don’t get earthiness, gravel or iron.

December 11, 2018 - #2 of 2. Terrific again, Pauillac-like, classified growth Bordeaux complexity, class, polish, and balance. Relatively primary cassis, blackberry cedar, graphite, and velvet tannins with good acidity make this a perfect food wine. @ 8 years old still a baby, and this has the backbone and freshness to evolve for another 10-15 years easily. Bravo.

October 6, 2018 - Drank from Coravin, day 2: A spectacular Bordeaux-inspired blend with the balance of a first-growth, and an absolute steal at $60. Real class, complexity with Pauillac-like pencil lead, cedar, cassis, Blackberry in a middle-weight frame. Glad I have another, and this is a refreshing break from the bruisers that can come out of Napa.
