December 1, 2023 - Decanted and drank over 3 hours on day one… Consistent with previous bottles… wonderful nose (violets, lilac, lavender) - think Chowders gum 😀; nice tart cherry on the palate; tiniest bit of soft tannins on the finish. These notes are so similar to my original tasting notes from a few years ago… it’s like this wine is in suspended animation…. Enjoy it … it’s not sophisticated or elegant but still a wonderful evening sipper.

August 15, 2023 - Deep ruby. On the nose medium intensity aromas of black currant, cassis, dry earth, soft vanilla and baking spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium plus acidity and fine grained ripe tannins. The body is medium plus, alcohol is high but well integrated. The flavor intensity is pronounced with black currant, cassis, dry earth, soft vanilla and baking spices, dried blueberries, prune. The finish lingers with black fruit and is layered. An excellent wine, and I have a second bottle that I will let sit some years more.

November 8, 2022 - 11/6/2022 Popped / poured and left to sit in the glass for half an hour before dinner. Dark, brooding Cali cab; lots of cassis, plum, blackberry on the nose. On the palate, lighter red fruit, seems rather tongue-tied, opaque, monstrously tannic, primarily fine-grained teabag tannins with some more gravelly stuff behind. I have one bottle left, think I will leave it in cellar until 2025-2027, hoping the tannins mellow before the fruit runs out. Update: Tannins definitely mellower after a day. Moral of the story, decant this one a few hours ahead of need!
