April 19, 2024 - Still young after a 2.5 hour decant. Long finish with soft tannins. Glad I still have a 1.5 liter.

June 7, 2023 - A very nice bottle with perfectly integrated tannins & oak, but a bit to fruit forward for me.

April 6, 2023 - Decanted 2 hrs before drinking. Complex nose of dark fruits, mushrooms, spice, and forest floor. Palate is well balanced with good acidity and integrated tannins. Finish is long and complex. Not by any means a fruit-forward Napa cab, but much the better for that in my opinion. One of the best bottles of larkmead I have had.
