March 15, 2018 - A surprise! Recently purchased on the secondary market.
This has aged quite well, and breaks the mold of high-alcohol wines can't age.
Earth, plush red and black fruit, leather, smooth velvet. A little boozy but I enjoyed it. -

September 25, 2017 - Time to drink, slightly below oxidation stage, but really ripe with cranberry and evergreen notes. Tar, oak, molasses and blueberry.

June 4, 2017 - Prunes, too much alcohol (16% shows), long finish, shows its age

June 29, 2016 - Nice and simple. Not sure this is declining, but rather it was never a great cab, just a good, well made fruit bomb without any complexity or secondary flavors at all. Good drinking, but nothing special.
