August 14, 2023 - This is a 2013 tonight. Like many 2013’s this feels like it’s just entering a prime window with years ahead of it. Huge contrast to the 2014 I had awhile back and the still very youthful 2016. No mistaking it’s Napa Cabernet, but with a much more Bordeaux like feeling to it. Color is deep magenta, no bricking still at this stage. Aromas of plum, black cherry, clove, tobacco, cinnamon stick and new leather. The palate is very linear carrying cherry, tobacco and spice with still very youthful grippy tannins. Cheers! 94+

August 30, 2020 - Enjoyed this over 2 days - provided a good counterpoint to the Kitchak To Kalon from the night before, as this showed red fruits just leaping out of the glass.
Still a bit of a bite from the alcohol, would give this a long decant (6+ hours) or lay down for longer. Day 2 = Day 1 -
