Community Tasting Notes 9

  December 18, 2021 - Still has a soft profile, which is unusual for a Napa 2013. A little more structured than our last bottle three years ago, but will not be returning to its stellar early days. Enjoyable, but I wouldn’t wait much longer.

  April 28, 2018 - This has declined since our prior note. Much softer profile than before. Possibly a sleepy phase for this wine, will hold our remaining bottle for a while to see.

  January 15, 2018 - Everything about this wine pushed the envelope but never went overboard for my palate. Super ripe dark fuits with a touch of flowers on the nose. Full bodied almost port like but not quite. Reminds me a bit of an old school Merus with Mark Herold. I enjoy this style but it can can get to be too much for some.

  January 11, 2018 - The bell curve on this wine was fairly low and quick. Its apex showed some nice purple core fruit, but it had a bit of a plum effect on the back end that sat on the grip and made it taste a little overly-ripe. This has declined since my last experience with it. There were some wild blackberry flavors that helped to pick up the pace somewhat, but it quickly turned into a more plush and soft profile overall. Drink now. 91-92? points.

  August 23, 2016 - Identical to my notes from October 2015. This wine has a lot of verve and energy, packed with coiled-up red and blue fruit flavors. Very good now; will hopefully be greater in another year or two. Needed a couple hours in the decanter to open up. Still a bit restrained.
  
  94-95 points with a point or two more potential in 2018. My other half gave it a solid 97 points, as she loved the intensity of the fruit and vivaciousness of the popping flavor profile overall. I felt it still had a little more working out to do in terms of the broadening and deepening of the distinctive flavors and greater filling-in on the mid-palate. A good example of GIII fruit. I much prefer this 2013 to its 2012 counterpart.
