January 20, 2024 - Ready to go right away (no decant). Mellowed tannins went great with steaks & lamb. Did get a little better as the night progressed so it still has life left. Unfortunately, it was my last one so I won't find out for sure.

November 20, 2023 - Scottwhipp is right on. This is an excellent aged H Mtn wine. I recommend drinking soon as the tannins have REALLY softened. Not sure if it would last 5 more years but others disagree.

January 20, 2023 - Perfectly aged, as tannins have softened and integrated. Full bodied, inky dark purple color, supple mouthfeel with flavors of ripe blackberry and black cherry, vanilla, violets, pencil lead and subtle tobacco notes. Mild tannins on a lengthy finish. Excellent.

January 10, 2023 - 88% Cab/12% Merlot. Rich and full bodied right now at 9 years of age. Black cherry, blackberry, and dark currant up front. Notes of violets, graphite, vanilla, subtle tobacco, and toasty oak. Nice balance with firm acidity, supple tannins, and beautiful long finish. So good right now but no doubt this will easily go another decade.

January 4, 2022 - The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), blackberry, blueberry, cherry, vanilla, violet and tobacco. It tastes like blackberry, blueberry, red currant, cherry, vanilla, oak and violet. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity. Rich and layered wine.
