December 17, 2023 - Full bodied, complex, neither savory nor a clumsy version of modern, not quite peaking or fully integrated so drink with a decant or hold another few years.

December 8, 2023 - Luis goes to Kenwood II (The Kenwood): 30 minute decant, then back into the bottle for a few hours before drinking a good-sized glass over 1.5 hours. This seemed to have more structure than the 2009, some tannin and earth to round out ALL OF THE FRUIT, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, name a berry and you'll probably find it in here. This is a tasty modern Napa cab that is showing well right now.

December 7, 2023 - Luis Tasting (The Kenwood): 30 min decant - Nose is more subdued and integrated than the 09 (likely because the 09 was PnP and this had a 30 min decant) Some earth notes to go with some awesome dark and red fruit! Palate showed nicely integrated red and black fruit, with some tar, graphite, earth and some sweet toasty oak. Full mouthfeel with smooth tannins. Much more fruit than tertiary flavors, but tertiary flavors were present and distinct. This is in a nice place! Solid 95 for my palate!
