February 20, 2024 - Just keeps getting better. Years left. Potential 95-96.
January 22, 2024 - Ok but nothing special
December 15, 2023 - Tasting beautifully right now. Still has some black current but more stewed. Tobacco and a hint of cedar. Nice mouthfeel. Smooth with soft tannins.
November 14, 2023 - Number is based on night 2. At that point it was incredibly smooth and deep with wonderful notes of chocolate and fruit. On night one I decanted for two hours. Still a little closed. I filtered since there was some sediment, so it was double decanted through an aerator. Much better then, but nothing like the second night. If I had more, which I wish I did, I’d give another year of bottle age.
September 3, 2023 - Heavy sediment which filtered out. Light tannins. Bright red fruit.
August 5, 2023 - Classic Paso Cab. rich, deep, minerality undertones, dark perfectly ripe fruit. Nicely finished. Will last a couple more years.
June 11, 2023 - Even better than when I reviewed in 2019. Still delicious. Not turning at all. Only difference is that it was great without decanting. Decanted anyway based on my previous note. So good!
April 15, 2023 - Got lucky with this one. Cork was compromised but luckily the wine was intact--just a touch of bricking starting to show. Fully integrated, plenty of fruit. Pleasant from start to finish.
December 2, 2022 - Fruit forward smooth great berries one of my favorites
November 26, 2022 - My friend really liked this wine, I thought it was good not great, I don't think decanting for an hour helped this wine, a bit more subdued and rustic than what I was expecting.
