  August 27, 2021 - Night at the Madrona: This powerful but open-knit wine is fantastic in the best tradition of the young: not giving an inch to the old, but still with so much more to come. It needs at least three hours in the decanter, but the wine is something to behold once it opens up.
  
  A little more bright red in color than the 2004 or 2010, this medium-bodied blend offers more reticent and airy aromas of anise, rosemary, and gravel. Flavors of blackcurrant, baking chocolate, graphite, pencil lead, with a plush and tannic finish that becomes less chalky with air. Blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot, and 6% Merlot. 14.5% alcohol. 96+ amidst such lofty company, but there's no doubt: this is a contender. Improved on second day, still going strong on the third.

  February 13, 2021 - Tried this in the younger phase of its life. Creamy Vanilla, Blackberry, and a smidge of mocha.
  
  Hour 6-7 The baby fat which was very heavy with whipping cream notes blew off as the wine decanted. Mint began to take hold in the glass to accompany the fruit and spice notes which was awesome! 97 as is. Easily could go 99... maybe even 100 after 2030 potential is there!
