November 22, 2023 - Really lovely, tannins are integrated, fruit remains but leaning to darker expressions of plum, cherry. There are also lovely savory and mineral driven flavors. Toast, graphite, iron.

April 5, 2023 - Maybe it was my mood, but I was a little less impressed with this compared to a previous bottle. This time around, it struck me more as a somewhat generic Napa cabernet. Anyway, it still checks all the boxes, but I thought this one showed less compleixity and interesting secondary notes. Probably at its peak, but it seems to have plateaued.
An 89 score on day one, 92 on day two. On day two, it DID show notes of forest floor, tobacco, and wet leaves that had initially been MIA. In other words, it showed a lot more complexity than on day one. -

February 2, 2023 - PnP. Solid cab. Held pretty consistent over 2 hours, definitely drinking really well right now and probably at its peak if not slightly past. Other note about it having shed its oak is spot-on. Would not hold as I don’t see it getting better.

January 9, 2023 - Delightful - nice fruit, has shed its oak, still has some back end tannins to let you know it’s a serious wine, just nicely done and in a great drinking window. Wish I had a couple more.

January 8, 2023 - Good, not great… Not much on the nose or palate - some mild berry flavors. Hopefully an off bottle.
