October 5, 2023 - Beautifully aged Cab, with dark fruit, earth and graphite. I bought bottle upon release and it's been stored under ideal conditions ever since. Smooth and elegant.

April 10, 2023 - Dark fruit and intense graphite and hints of eucalyptus tannins are perfectly resolved, dried blackberry and garrigue, very good, drink up! No life left in smaller formats. Drink with steak

September 14, 2019 - Drinking beautifully. Fairly closed nose on opening, with some fruit coming through. Decanted for an hour. Really well balanced on the palate, with strong presence of dark fruit and wood. Good long finish. This wine in right in its prime.

August 15, 2019 - Napa with friends; 8/15/2019-8/18/2019 (Napa, CA): Wow - this was the WOTN by a far margin. Drinking just beautifully. Mature and complex with layers of flavor, red/black fruit, dried leaves, tobacco, earth - and a scattering of dusty tannin on the super long finish. Seems like it will hold this way for quite a while too - kept coming back to this such a lovely rendition of Napa Valley wine.
