February 14, 2024 - Loved this wine. Aromatic once the cork was pulled. Just beautiful. Fairly priced for the quality. The wine continues to evolve. I decanted for approximately 60 minutes. Tannins subsided as the wine's silkiness started to present itself. Happy I got on the River's Marie bandwagon when it first came out.

December 28, 2023 - Delicious well aged Napa cab - blackberries, spice, Casios, hints of leather and tobacco. A treat
Did not decant and glad I didn’t - drank most powerful within first 30 minutes of opening and seemed to lose some of its vibrancy as evening moved on -

November 29, 2023 - Opened but not decanted. This had been opened about an hour prior to dinner. It could have used a decant for sediment purposes as this was throwing quite a bit of fine sediment near the end of the bottle. Inky dark color in the glass with no visible sign of being almost ten years old. Dark fruits and mocha (think chocolate milkshake) on the nose. Similar palate with excellent balance, nicely integrated fine tannins and a long finish. No hurry here. 94+

September 16, 2023 - PnP, would have benefitted from a decant. Aromas of blackfruit, blueberry, black raspberry, spice, forest floor and a touch of oak. Lots of flavor with blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry, spice, and cedar. Great balance, long finish with smooth tannins. Good now, but probably still better in a few years.

February 22, 2023 - I drank this at the Wineberserkers offline at DiFara's in NYC. This wine drank well with pizza! It was a good drinking wine. Not decanted. Drink and enjoy or hold. Wish I had another. One of my good friends noted that this was WOTN. I was happy to share with my wine friends. We were 27 people with close to 40 wines, mostly red, and some Champagne.
